I’m about to quit building.
Something has to be done. I’ve abandoned so many builds over the last year it’s ridiculous. Due to roof clipping bugs, stair bugs, frieze bugs, and many other core bugs, I can’t seem to finish anythin...

I agree that build mode has its limitations.
As for roofs clipping, there are almost always solutions for that. Using the arrows to trim eaves and adjusting the curve of the roof help a lot. And advanced roof mode can also help.
I recently learned that if you hold shift while applying a frieze, it'll only apply to a single wall instead of the entire room. That fixed a lot of issues for me.
As for the open stairs bug, that desperately needs to be fixed. The only existing workaround isn't exactly great due to the way build mode deals with "rooms".
And platforms are an absolute pain to build. Unless you keep reloading the lot, you'll end up being unable to build anything. Those need some serious tweaking. That said, fewer platforms mean better performance in live mode because routing doesn't work great with many platforms either.
Edit: here's a tutorial I wrote (ages ago) on building dormer windows without clipping. As far as I know it still works. https://mdianasims.tumblr.com/post/161657272445/how-to-build-dormers-without-roofs-clipping
I also have a tutorial about skylights on my blog.
