-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I think its because its so comprehensive more than anything. With everything in the SDK we can pretty much do almost anything we want - its a hell of alot more comprehensive than most (if any other) SDK around. As Jed said, its not the faint hearted, and it does take a bit of time to get used to everything - the structure and organisation of the files. I agree that the folders could be structured better, but thats about the only thing. If you're concerned about not being able to track functions back or find stuff, then just grab yourself some tools and take a bit of time to learn it.
