Just to point out:
For a system that's so confusing, everyone seems to understand how it works well enough to complain about it.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying don't complain about it. I'm just pointing out that it probably works better than most folks are giving it credit for. It doesn't take long to realize the transformation isn't going to immediately happen, and yet there's still this nagging sense of urgency. Which is probably exactly the way it's supposed to be.
Anyway, just a thought.
