Ask HN: Is it me, or is SharePoint needlessly complicated and annoying?

All I want to do is create simple text pages and add pictures to them, as well as maintaining a document library. But the amount of options, views, cutomization settings, "hidden" display settings is 10xing the amount of work that should be required.

I upload a file and neither myself nor my team can't see it. I see some text saying that files that are checked out by you are not visible to others. What? How do I check it back in if _I_ can't see it? What were they thinking?

One part of me thinks that it is designed this way so that it necessitates hiring a Sharepoint Developer or SharePoint Admin, which would provide for excellent job security...
