The last time I used TestLink, the administrative (i.e. test case management) side of things was nothing short of complicated madness, that was quite a while ago however. Not being simple on the administative reduces the amount of people who are willing to work with it, eventually again decreasing the usefulness (greetings from bugzilla and all the devs who never ever look at it :'<).
