Some of the tooling is really great, e.g. opam Just Works, utop feels very comfortable and merlin is amazing[1]. The lack of a standard build system is annoying yeah; I tried for a while to make do with just ocamlbuild and a Makefile, but eventually gave in and learnt Oasis, and it does the job just fine for my purposes, just feels a bit messy (compared to something like cabal, which at first sight hides a lot of the intermediate steps).
