(+) Yeah! (+)

"Hey instead of having two circular button options for snooze and dismiss, let's make a giant red X for dismiss and put Snooze in word format above it"

like really

Snooze should always be easier. You should have to be awake to figure out where the dismiss button is.

lol @ still using the standard alarm clock.

That's what apps are for. Alarms are far too easy to turn off while still half asleep, only to roll over and fall back to sleep without realizing it. I set up my alarm to ask me a simple math question (like 13 - 5, not calculus) when I want to dismiss it. Also set a limit on the number of times it will allow me to hit snooze. Plus a nice feature that makes the alarm's volume increase gradually for a less jolting wake-up.

the only time it's failed to wake me up is when i fell asleep literally on top of my phone

I'm not thinking of that when I wake up

You could turn on the Easy Mute feature. Lets you snooze by just covering the phone with your hand.
