One thing to keep in mind too, is what you see today is nowhere near the final product. The site is still in its initial beta stages, and they are planning to add a lot of new features and updates over the next few years. To give you a preview of the types of things they are thinking of, you can check out The Steemit Wish List.
I would say the main thing to look for right now is the community. Behind the crude website, there are a lot of cool people here interacting with each other. If you like the people and think the site has good potential, then its probably worth sticking around :)
Oh I completely agree! I merely see these things as very low hanging fruit, especially just adding a guide/faq button in the menu. I'm more the willing to be patient for whatever the long term solutions of the devs, but with this being a problem NOW, intermediate solutions are important to get in place.
Not to mean any disrespect to the overwhelming amount of work on the devs plate and pipeline, but often these solutions come to late on their own. Imagine this place the last month or so without curie or RHW.
I'll also admit I wrote this before I saw the latest github issues or ned going on steemspeak.
