The community is aware of it and I assume they will discuss and move forward on Usability over the next months. Re Drupal being always considered soo difficult - well, I think that any not so complex site is easy to set up with Drupal and that a really complex one is something which you can still use Drupal for :-) Usability was a big issue during the Drupalcon in Szeged.

If it's not it probably should be. Importing/Exporting data can be something of a problem, but I still think you do things a totally wrong way initially. You find a way that works, but it isn't the "Drupal" way. I suspect that “starting over” is a very common outcome. If it’s not it probably should be.

As an experienced Drupal developer, I would say that it's the sort of thing where "it's easy to get good, it's hard to get great." One question I have is, after spending a day with it, did you try to go back and do things again? I often hear how people are caught off guard the first time they try messing with Drupal then settle into the use of the tools. M Interesting account of your Drupal experience!

Can you make a list of things you found hard, and make a blog post of it? And then request other people to submit what they found to be hard? We can probably all get to the answers, much more quickly, once we make a list of the questions. I totally agree with your assessment.
