Sorry I also hate having a pattern where you purchase the amount of fabric needed and either you don't have enough or you have a large piece left. Also patterns which donot tell about mistakes and corrections not clear.
Patterns are very very expensive and shouldn't contain mistakes.
Magazines with mistakes in should coletely replace the pattern in another date.

Rotary cutting blades and patterns are my dislikes, too. I do not like paying the current high prices for fabrics although the fabrics are so interesting and fun to use. I have cut back on buying fabrics "just because." Now I check my stash first and then buy whatever is needed for a specific project. I watch for sales.

Patterns for a queen sized bed that tell you you need to buy 19 yards of fabric to complete the top of the quilt. Hello, I could wallpaper my entire house with 19 yards of fabric... I get that they are trying to sell their fabric line, but how stupid do they think I am?
