CPanel needs to hire a) some decent UX guys and b) some decent English-speaking translators. I've used dozens of CPanel-based shared hosting providers—enough to deduce that their product must be mostly technically sound. Everything seems to get configured properly, there are no major security holes, etc. etc.
But the interface downright sucks. It's slightly more polished (read: glossy) than it was about five years ago, but still an unorganized, cluttered list of unhelpful icons. Plus the text throughout the UI constantly misuses idioms (or sounds like it was written by an eight-year-old).
I know it's de facto standard, but a little cleanup could go a long way.

Imagine the frustration developers of other control panels feel when users expect, and occasionally demand, those misused idioms be used by everyone, because "cPanel is the standard".
