However, the one thing I like about checks is that I can write one out
in a few minutes and hand it (or mail it) to ANYONE. I don't need
complicated account numbers or apps for the transfer.

  I understand/appreciate that aspect of using checks, but don't miss
it. Good riddance with checks.

  I've probably mentioned this before: In our country (NL) - and
probably many others - we can transfer money to a person's phone number,
to their WhatsApp (normally same number) or e-mail address and can do
the same for requests for money. The only 'app' (or website) needed is
one's normal banking app/site.
