Nice title! Charming :o)
Anyway, yup its a reasonable shortcoming. As you're aware there is a CMS, and structurally (i.e. the Content Repository) it is pretty good, its the *interface* that lets it down.
The original CMS interface was so unpopular that I think its put people off developing a new one, not unreasonably.
That and the fact its a big undertaking and I doubt any of the current volunteers have that much more time available.
So no, you are not alone. Therefore instead of point out the obvious ;o) are you volunteering to develop one? That'd be the easiest way to solve the problem.
