Do you wish English spelling would be simplified?

Take the letters /ough/ for example:
through
thought
tough
cough
dough
That’s at least 5 different pronunciations, and it’s very complicated to learn. For example, when is the /gh/ silent? Why does /gh/ sometimes sound like /f/?
How would you “fix” English spelling? Would you change anything or leave it the way it is? Should we adopt the international phonetic alphabet?
