.net frustration

Once upon a time, when the 'net was young and no-one but techies fiddled about with domain registration, there was but one Internet registrar that everyone had to deal with. They had some clumsy email-based template system that made registering and managing Internet domains a chore.
I guess all of today's Internet domain registrars are paying homage to those bad ol' days. Because all of the modern domain management sites I've used are without exception:
1) confusing and unnecessarily complex
2) slow
3) heavy on the emails
