iTunes clumsiness

There has been an unfortunate tendency in new Apple products to shackle users with invisible procedures in a very unMac like way.
I am talking about lack of feedback as to what is happening and where. In iPhoto the annoyance is that it duplicates files but doesn't tell you.
In iTunes it is the poor link between what you see in iTunes and what exists on your Hard Drive. I find some of my MP3s are in some odd locations that I am sure I did not select. Further to this renaming and recategorising tracks before ripping them, if they have a downloaded track list, doesn't work. These lists often have typos and errors in them. Correcting them in iTunes seems to work on screen but has absolutely no effect on the filename or the file data when reopened. Good design would not allow such deceptive editing. Good design would make sure the changes actually happened!
I am also totally stumped as to how to merge collections created on 2 different machines and there is no info in the very light documentation supplied.
Surely I am not alone in wanting this?
