I think you are the only who is frustrated here.

I stand by my point, but it's taken a bit out of context so let me add
"if they expect to have any serious use of it".

Right, but I still have to take lessons to drive a car, even though the car is
just a means to get from A to B.
I do not expect by default to be able to operate such a machine.

Don't get me wrong though, I fully support the idea that software should be as
easy to use as possible.
In fact this is why I often advocate Arena over Winboard, I know it will be
easier for newbies to relate to.
