I like my glass measuring cups but the printing on them has really disappeared over time. Does anyone have a measuring cup that they love?

I don't know if there's a name for it, but an increasing number of recipe writers are using only weight based measurements. This is super handy because you just have a scale, add ingredients, and just tare as you need. The measurements are also more accurate because, eg, flour can be compacted, so "1 cup of flour" could vary by a lot depending on how you measure it.

    Salt is another example. A teaspoon of salt can be a very different amount depending on if you use fine salt, coarse salt or even flaky salt.

    I convert all measurements in the recipes I use to weight except teaspoons. It's just simply faster to get the end product and leaves less dishes at the end.
