I use and like Audacity, but it really is clunky. Having to use separate "tools" to edit envelopes, move events, etc. is pretty clunky compared to, say, a DAW like ACID or a commercial audio editor like Soundforge. The active regions for hovers, clicks, and drags (e.g. to resize tracks) really need tweaking as well, and the horizontal scroll after a zoom change is also really hard to predict or control.
