Good - could be better - happy overall

While I like the dishwasher a great deal there are little things about it that nag at me. They really only disappoint because it could have been so much better. My comments are after only having the unit about a month. I really can't speak to reliability yet.
Here is a quick list of the good and bad:
Good - Nearly silent - Most of the time I can't tell if it is running
Good - Simple controls (almost too simple - see BAD below)
Good - Third rack is handier than I'd have thought (wish height adjusted)
Good - the tines are VERY adjustable with lots of options to change
Good - Installation was relatively simple (one exception)
Good - Seems to clean very well so far

Good - Seems to clean very well so far
Bad - Controls are TOO simple - buttons have multiple options and I'd rather have had a few more buttons with less combinations to control
Bad - Doesn't remember last cycle or your preferred settings and requires you to constantly change settings to get it right each time (HATE HATE THIS) - my previous dishwasher was over 7 years old and had this down perfectly - what happened to progress?
Bad - Racks are sticky and don't glide in and out. Ironically I loved this about the floor demo I saw as it worked perfectly but I find the racks could go in and out easier
Bad - Adjustment for leveling during install is incredibly cool but a bit of a pain to operate and almost didn't work at all when I first got it. Looks easy to break.
Bad - No light to tell you if your dishes are clean after it finishes running. This baffles me. There are lights and an LCD - why couldn't they use this to tell me if the dish washer is done washing and clean?? BIG PET PEAVE HERE. Again, my 7 year old previous dishwasher did this why not this one?
Bad - The middle rack seems to always need help getting pushed in all the way. Presumably this is because the spray nozzle for the second rack has to seat into the back of the washer to connect into the water source but I always feel like I have to force the dishwasher closed because the second rack isn't in all the way.
Bad - The mechanism that closes and holds the detergent is a major pain in the neck. It never closes the first time. Frankly, it is just poorly designed.
If it remembered the last wash cycle and the holder for the detergent worked right I'd rate it 5 stars. The lack of a wash finished/clean light at the end of a cleaning cycle is unforgivable. My kids are constantly putting dirty dishes into a clean dishwasher or not realizing the dishes are done.
