A lot of the "none of this feels good" is that the models have been RL'd to produce longer and longer outputs. You don't start with a 1 paragraph explanation, being forced into a back-and-forth with the model so much anymore, unless you explicitly ask. Instead, it'll generate a 10 page report that you sorta-skim and the hooks of your attention skid off, and you prompt something vague like "make it shorter".
