My old tent took 20 minutes to set up until I switched to a different pole design

I had this 4-person dome tent that always left me wrestling with poles in the dark. Switched to a hub-style pole setup last spring and now it's literally 5 minutes flat. Has anyone else found a specific pole design that made a big difference?

Idk I actually don't mind the old pole style that much.

Wait, you actually prefer wrestling with poles in the dark?

Honestly, ngl I'm not sure I even have a strong opinion on poles, I mainly just like the chaos of trying to find the damn thing in the dark. Tbh I've personally ended up whacking myself in the face more times than I'd like to admit. It's like a full contact sport for me but with zero coordination. Maybe the old pole style is safer for clumsy people like me, less chance of accidental self injury. Either way, I'm not winning any awards for form or technique, that's for sure.
