I bit melodramatic?

OMS has some recognized weakness, navigation and error handling among the most egregious. And I'd personally like to get the person that thought up using XML for configuration into an alley for a few minutes. But angst aside the Grid Control (OMR, OMS, OMA) works surprisingly well for a version 1 and if compared with a similarly sized project, so early in its lifecycle, a rather respectable effort.
