I agree Haki as a concept is cool but the way it's been implemented has been piss poor

Every strawhat should at least know the basics of haki by now

And Oda needs to do a better job distinguishing between the two so people aren't arguing for 2 weeks weather it's Armament or Conquerors
In retrospect, they should've all had some form of it after the timeskip. Fuck it, they were headed to the New World. Why not at least have them show up as:
  • Luffy - CoC, CoA & CoO
  • Zoro - CoA & CoO
  • Nami - CoO
  • Usopp - CoA (unlocking CoO on Dressrosa)
  • Sanji - CoA * CoO
  • Chopper - CoA
  • Robin - CoA and/or CoO (unlocking one or the other by Wano)
  • Franky - CoA
  • Brook - CoA
If not after the timeskip, this is what it should've been at least by the time we got to Wano. At this point, I just want them to have it regardless on panel training or vague explanations expounded upon in SBS.

As for the difficulty distinguishing the kinds of Haki - I believe that is entirely deliberate because Oda's historically never quite made up his mind about Haki and it's a power system he's been developing and changing in real time since its introduction.

True, it's always changing and evolving
 
This is exactly why I'll always say Devil Fruits are the superior power system
Certainly more creative.

That said, I've fucking love the concept of Haki at its most basic.

What I don't like about it is how Oda's gone off the rails with CoC and advanced forms. Future Sight is a cool concept implented terribly. It should be an extremely rare ability, perhaps even unique to one person if not extremely few - not something that can be attained by just anyone. Armament Haki is a fucking mess, I don't even know where to start. CoC was great up until it started to become some "God has a plan for you" Chosen Ones bullshit power.

Haki was better when it was more simplified, with certain advanced abilities being attainable and certain rare ones unique to individuals - think along the lines of Nen or unique Force powers.
