Touch buttons on the stove (assuming they are like the ones we have at home) mean the stove is just one flat glass pane that is impossible to make dirty.
Yes, the buttons are kinda retarded and unresponsive, but if you fry something and have droplets of burned oil fly everywhere you just take a cloth with a little detergent and it just wipes off.
No more crusty disgusting matter growing on nooks and crannies of knobs that you have to operate on to get off the damn thing
Touch buttons = circuit board. Horrible idea. What could go wrong so close to excessive heat? Ovens used to last decades, and they still last longer than most other appliances, but now it's the circuit board in the control panel that goes out the most.
My car radio is a giant touch screen. Horrible idea. I would much rather have buttons. I understand they want the buttons to change depending on context, but even then it would be better to have buttons surrounding a screen with the screen changing to show what the buttons do.
IBM used to make cash registers with little LCD panels on the physical buttons. Of course these have probably been replaced with touch screens.
