I too have no clue about what4 is complaining about.
Do you not realize that the iPod and iTunes predate the iTunes Store by a good number of years? The only way to get music onto an iPod for quite some time was to rip your CDs yourself (or "borrow" MP3/AAC files from others).
And how is dragging and dropping folders of music onto an iPod from the Finder less awkward than using iTunes to manage your music and your iPod? Using iTunes is much easier, much more consistent, and offers much less of an opportunity for users to screw things up. Add music to iTunes library, drag music onto iPod in sidebar of iTunes. How hard is that?
What exactly are the "irritating omissions" for people who listen to audiobooks or rip their own audio? I'm not a big fan of the built-in encoder in iTunes, so I use XLD to do my rips, and it puts the results straight into my iTunes library.
