You're certainly not the only one!

There are several long-standing bugs that seem just to have been ignored.

And, while it was good to see some effort put into improving security in the last minor release, that too normally seems to figure low in priorities.

To be frank, WordPress is becoming a bit of a bloated beast. I even wonder whether, if it continues to focus on shiny instead of functional, someone might fork the whole project.
