Like all of you guys, I have several gripes with this game. But given this is the 54th page, it seems there is no shortage of complaints, and I'm sure my own are probably adding to a list of repeats.
Still, it'll be nice to relate my grievances to others.
1. Nintendo can force updates upon us as though this were suddenly Windows 10. Just the other day, I woke up to check on my island, not saving it the night before because let's face it, the loading time is also tedious. The first message I received before resuming the game was "new update". I declined and chose "start software". It was fine at first, I exited townhall and the screen began loading before cutting to Isabelle excitedly chattering about the news, or lack there of. (See gripe 2) I then connected it to my dock and it froze; I waited a few minutes and nothing. It finally loads up and the game was closed, and no update was offered. The game updated without my permission; I never said I was ready to update, yet Nintendo went ahead with it anyway. I'm sorry, I thought I bought this Switch but apparently I'm simply leasing it since they can do what they wish with it.
2. Isabelle's news is pointless. Most of the time she could be offering new information, such as if Gulliver is on the beach, Flick is around, etc. Instead I hear about a fantasy scenario she quickly laughs off, and I receive the actual news from my villagers.Isabelle, you are fake news.
3. Have to take a moment to agree with everyone that yes, the one-track-wonder you're stuck with for about a week is redundant, and borderline laughable, comparing its content to NL and WW.
4. Following this music complaint, you should be able to mute the music entirely. What if I don't want to hear 5PM's squeaky horns, or the ominous sounds that are included in 3AM? (Reminds me of a Shy Guy level from Mario, in the forest or something.) Don't even get me started on the whining chorus that makes up 2PM. It would be so much better if we were able to mute it entirely, and listen to the radio we set up in the grass instead.
5. Villagers move out way too slowly. If I have a full town I should have someone ask me to move at least every four days, maybe even three.
6. Multiplayer is absolutely pointless. What am I supposed to even do when I have a friend over? Mass craft bait and challenge them to see who can catch the rarer fish? I mean it's ridiculous. The major part of NL was it's multiplayer activities, and in this supposedly "upgraded" game, they removed all of those features. It's just boring.
7. Stuff is way too expensive! For as difficult as Bells can be to make sometimes, (looking at you, dry spells when Tarantulas are few, the season for Emperor butterflies has ended, and the most profitable fish to be caught is the elusive Oarfish or Tuna) I should not walk into my once-upgraded (See following number) Nook's Cranny to be filled with excitement from a shiny new fridge being offered, and then immediately realize I'm going to have to either leave it behind or sell the shirt off my back to purchase it.
8. Nook's Cranny upgrades once, randomly. I played for 40+ days and still nothing. Finally, after about the 44th day, Isabelle informed me it would be receiving an overhaul. (Amazing, actually useful news.)
9. This game is too similar to PC, which had it's own problems I choose not to delve into.
10. The lack of diving is heartbreaking; that was another one of the entertaining things about NL. It never got old. I think there are still a few creatures I never caught.
11. My house is indeed too small. Including storage.
12. You should be able to change in any wardrobe, even at a friend's island
13. The game forces you to move in the first villager who comes into your campsite. In my unluckiness, I was burdened with Graham. I hated him til the day he left and could do nothing to remove him. Meanwhile, I tried everything to halt his plans to move in but my options were "Move here!" or "Okay". Either choice, I was stuck with his little yellow prick self.
14. You should be able to remove and add any villager you want, any time. I had to TT eight entire days to get him to move, and it wasn't even natural. Hopper chose to pay a visit to the campsite and somehow he replaced Graham who was "already thinking of leaving". Convenient he would choose now to leave when I'd been beating him with a net, ignoring him, surrounding his home with garbage/wasp nests/and cardboard boxes since the day he had arrived.
I'm sure there's more but it's not even worth the time to continue ranting for another hour. (If anyone wishes to know why I detest Graham, the reasons are quite valid and fair. In a word, he's a nuisance.)

i think they may have removed it to discourage big transfers of money (ex. people buying hacked bells on ebay in new leaf) but it's so annoying !!
