Stop the overuse of overflow menu

I really don't like to be negative, but this post doesn't offer any alternatives.. I use overflow menu's all the time because they have features that i need..

I also hear the terrible UI decisions to leave out features that only small % of people use, but honestly that thought process is exactly why I think so many UI's are broken, and why most times i just lean back toward command line and text based things..

If a UI can't do what i need then what is the point of it? I don't care how pretty it looks.., should i then open the app "hi mr app i know you cant do what i want, but i just wanted to look at you today".
