The only spice racks that I have in my kitchen sitting out are these two.
This is one that my husband made for me about 25 years ago.
These are the shelves of a butcher table that he also made.
Only the spices that I use most often are here. My bottom cupboards are extremely deep, Costa Rican Style. I bought a whole bunch of cheap cake pans about 14x18 inches and everything that I have is in those pans so that I can use them as slide-out drawers. I have one cabinet that just has spices. All the bottles are labeled on the top so that I can just look down on them and choose what I need. I also have all my flavorings and food color in these. The rest of my spices are in the refrigerator or freezer because in this climate they go stale fast.
I couldn't even imagine trying to cook with one or even two computerized racks. Although I did have one friend that only cooked with salt and pepper. She didn't believe in herbs or spices. Lunch at her house was always very boring.
