> One joined floor for the shower and rest of the bathroom is a weird non-North American thing that is absolutely wrong and I sure hope isn't catching on here.

Hah, funnily enough every time I’m in the US I reflect about what a weird design those low faux-bathtubs are. To each his own I guess

Having spent weeks in countries with a single common wet bathroom, a separated wet and dry zone is much more friendly to use, but also less easy to clean.

If your bidet is just a hose attached to the toilet instead of a washelet, there's something to be said for it, but I still don't enjoy the single common wet zone.

A split zone design that separates the wet zone (like the shower or the tub) from the dry zone (toilet plus sink) is nice.

Once you add kids to the equation the whole bathroom + a good portion of the connecting hall is now a wet zone.
