I already miss my 5 year old OnePlus One. It's sitting there on table now, running last benchmarks. It's on its last legs, body has crumbled here and there, it holds together with glue, I've managed to break its antenna somewhat during second battery replacement operation, it has gone through four screen protectors, it's running LineageOS to stay updated.
Now it has been acting up. Charging doesn't work at all unless it's +2A power plug. Charging also causes its touch screen to become unusable during charging, and headphones have strong static while charging too. Touchscreen in general doesn't register all touches so good anymore. The automatic ambient light sensor is also acting up, it sometimes gets confused in dark room and ramps up brightness. Power button is finally beginning to break, it moves a lot sideways like a loose tooth.
Old powerhouse that whipped all the competition without breaking a sweat, budget miracle, king of the hill, now Antutu is telling me its GPU only defeats 2% of other phones. Heartbreaking. You did your best to the very end. Now I'll be getting a new phone within a few days. It was a good run.
I was in about the same situation a few months ago as you user(I did take better physical care of it though) and I just got a refurbished galaxy s9 plus.

I feel the same way about my OP3, mang. Peak phone design right there, the capacitive/home buttons are literally all i could ask for in a phone. I'm SICK and tired of this on-screen bullshit we're left with.
I know that feel. It's so dumb. "Hey let's get rid of buttons, extend screen, put exact same buttons there on screen instead and make user swipe up to get them visible lol!"

Afraid to buy a iphone because apple will break it in 3 years through updates.
Had to replace mine in October. It was a mere shadow of it's former self but I couldn't bail on it. I get very attached to stuff I used a lot. In the end it got stolen so I didn't had a choice. I still love you my little Oneplus One. Sleep tight.
