Thanks, glad to know that it is not just me. Some things should be really simple; a support forum is one of those. Remember, some folks who go there are new to WordPress, and are not familiar with all the ins and outs as the professionals are. Just because all the tools can be installed for a really cool experience does not mean they should be; the purpose of a support forum is to communicate efficiently and simply. The interface should not get in the way of basic conversation.
