THANK YOU OMG
I have lots of frustration with modal views that:
1. block me from seeing the things that I probably need to enter into the view
2. disappear when you accidentally click outside them
3. don't scroll properly
4. don't allow scrolling of the page behind
5. don't play well with reasonable browser extensions (uBlock, but other things as well like Disconnect) or even the tracking prevention build into browsers.
6. store data in a weird place so that a second window of the same site in a different location opens the same (now incorrect) data in the modal.
These things are becoming super common in line-of-business apps, where they interrupt workflow. Better options:
1. New page, as recommended by this link
2. Expanding a region of interest to allow the form to fit
3. Making the page more interactive in other ways so that a modal doesn't seem like the best way to do the interaction
