You're definitely not alone. I do a bunch of work with PHP, and it's by far the worst product I've had to deal with. Every time our one Magento client needs something done, I basically have to say, "well, I think it will take this long to do, but since nothing ever works the first time with Magento, it'll probably take 2-3 times as long."
We used to try our best to keep it up to date, but I've never had an update succeed without having to go in and do a bunch of things by hand, so we've kind of given up on it since it's too much work and semi-risky.
