I agree with you: yes, sometimes designers do a bad job. What I'm trying to say is that you then have three options: 1. Go with the flow and accept the limitations. 2. Try to fight the design. 3. Use a different product. All I'm trying to say is that 2 is a losing strategy. If the design is bad, 3 is probably your best bet. If it's good, 1 might actually be pretty rewarding and even make you embrace what you used to consider a limitation, or it might just be one of the downsides of the product since nothing is perfect. So in your case, I'd indeed use a different product and for good measure complain about it on Hacker News :) But what I probably wouldn't do is try to find some hacky workaround to make it work somewhat, until the designer screws me over again.
