I know an experienced red dot-Developer who set up his company site in  
Typo3 within two weeks (besides other projects) and he had just one  
question that could be answered with "have a look at option split".
Imho there can be a huge difference between "experienced web developers"  
(being perfect in Dreamweaver or similar, javascript, maybe have some  
php-experience) and "experienced cms-developers" or "experienced  
standard-software developers".

I really agree that usability even for administrators can be increased in  
many places. But if someone wants to change his website from table to  
div-layout, starts with this in the evening and doesn't finish it the same  
day (or night), he should not complain about the "evil typoscript" because  
in fact he has a problem with "very bad project management".
