This appears to be a recurring question in several threads - which
surely must indicate that the alarm user-interface is still in need of
some attention (separate to the issues of server connectivity when an
alarm fires, WOL etc etc) I quite like all the suggestions about
allowing an alarm to (optionally) fire into "now playing" mode rather
than alarm mode. Fine. And allowing each alarm to have its own timeout,
yes cool. And a config setting to disable the option to snooze, if you
must.

But fundementally, the alarm menu itself is so annoying and
unneccessary.
* Can't easily see the time as its so small - could easily be solved
with alarm screensaver
* The two choices (snooze,stop) really should use distinct buttons to
avoid user error in a dark, semi-conscious state.

Does anyone feel that the alarm MENU is a good approach ? Can't just be
me.
Is anyone against the idea of removing it in preference to distinct
buttons ? (using existing buttons, not a talking about new hardware!)

You know the old addage, "keep it simple stupid". The current alarm UI
just doesn't quite feel like it's user-friendly yet.
