Big pockets that match each other are one thing. Big pockets that sag because they're stretched out of shape? I consider that poor design. Of course I may be in a minority there.
The problem with big saggy pockets designed that way is that if they're set at an angle they'll dump whatever is put in them if the wearer moves the wrong way, like leaning over to the side. I have a jacket that looks like the pockets should be perfectly adequate, and feels like it when I stick my hand in - but the minute I sit down and change the angle at which they sit, the contents spill out all over my chair, or my car, or whatever. I consider that a major #pocketfail. They either need to be an inch higher, or set at less of an angle (which I can't fix), or about 3 inches deeper. As it stands I can put gloves in there (non-slippery), but they won't hold onto either my phone or a tube of lip balm. So if I'm designing? Non-saggy pockets.
