Wish someone asked his opinion on "singletons". I've been fan of them in the past, and now I totally despise them... But then it came to me, that I don't despise the semantics of he singleton - I just write that as a bunch of functions, rather than class with methods that is "singleton-ized".

There were also some revelations - like printer().getSingleton() (or instead of printer, put keyboard, mouse, memory, etc.) - at some point some of these "singletons" might be become "multi-tons" - for example gamepad().getSingleton() already is a trouble...
