I had the same frustrations, and that's why I created the feEdit
extension. It's not finished, and not documented, but works well for the
parts implemented, unfortunately file upload is not one of them.

The feAdmin lib has a lot of nice features, but is hard to use. So
there's a need for a new approach to that.

I already had a some initial discussions about that on this list and
what wil happen is this:

Robert Lemke and I will do an RFC on the subject some time this fall.
That will probably lead to a finishing of the feEdit or a totally new
extension combining the best of the two approaches.

Any thoughts and feature requests for the upcoming solution will be
welcomed.
