You, as a data point (and I, and I imagine many people on HN), are strong evidence of the rule "sufficiently motivated and clever end users will always find a way to do what they want, regardless of the interface". But that isn't really saying anything about if the interface sucks, or could be improved, just that you're motivated and clever enough to find a good and scalable solution for what you want to do given the limitations of the interface.
