So, what exactly is wrong with Anki's interface? The basics seem pretty simple - load a deck, and if you know the answer, click the green button, and if you don't, the red button. I can't imagine why you'd need to delve into the complex features daily. I think for 99% of usage, there are only a few buttons in Anki. But this may be a case where any sufficiently "simple" interface is insufficiently rich, and any sufficiently rich program will have some interface complexity somewhere.

The interface for making/entering cards is not so hot. If I were even minimally competent at scripting or not bone lazy I would learn to use a proper text editor and get it to spit out cards from a text file. All that said, I agree. Anki is one of the most useful pieces I software I have ever encountered. To anyone who is on the edge about using SRS I recommend downloading it onto computer and phone and getting a good shared deck to build the habit. Building your own decks is superior but really, just start.
