Well im so glad that two respected members have said this, ive been wanting to say it for a while. D7 for the end user is wayyyy too complicated now. All these new features are great,but in my experience no user, unless they are totally dedicated to your site is going to take the time or be much bothered to go through all the menu options, its mind bending...
I cant see the users im aiming for (middle aged, not that computer savvy) ever being able to use D7 as it stands,not without a steep learning see more curve anyway. Ive shown it a couple of users and they just go "OMG! how you supposed to find anything..." and really, i have to agree with that from the end users point of view

Regards

Tyke
