Any other phone I or a family member has ever had will just play the dang ringtone as I scrolled the list. Same with the Wallpaper - there's a list, with no graphics, no way to preview it or see what the heck it is. Just select it, go to the Today screen, and see what it looks like. What the heck??

For me, the best thing about Windows Mobile is that besides the huge variety in custom modifications and 3rd party apps, there are most times
several ways to do something .. and it becomes a question of "which way is best for me?" rather than simply "how do i do it?"
Your problem with wallpaper is a good example: Yes, the dialog you describe is one way of doing it. But you can also change the wallpaper from the standard
File Explorer as well as from the
Pictures and Albums app (which meets your expectation of being able to do it with some sort of preview/thumbnail). And depending on your favourite 3rd party image viewer, you will probably be able to do it from there too.
Another example is text messaging: besides the obvious messaging shortcut on the Today screen for example, you can also initiate a text message from the Contacts manager. But my favourite way is from the phone pad: Just press the [Send] hardware button to get into the phone dialer, use its ultra cool search feature of narrowing down the list as you start to type the recipient's name, click the contact card icon and select "Send Text Message" from there!
So in WM there are many ways to peel your potatoes. If you invest a little time to see
which way suits you, rather than stopping at the first solution you find which might not suit your needs entirely ... then you will really start to appreciate what it has to offer.
