Peace,

Is it necessary to force very float to be 'here definitely' if I actually
want it to be correctly placed in the text?

Yes.

I tried to leave all floats at default, and when the pdf was created, there were floats in the middle of itemize lists, on the wrong pages and even in
the wrong order... totally erratic...

I tried a number of the options associated with float placement. But the only one that was correct, mostly, was to force it to be 'here definitely'.

Why is the default placement so bad? Any ideas as to why the default is so
bad? Suggestions?

The default placement is typically not that bad as long as there is
a sufficient amount of "regular" text in the documnet.

I think the point with me is that I have text and graphics in a way that the graphics really must be exactly where i put them, spacing as per latex formating is fine, but I cannot have them being grouped on separate pages or in the middle of other text willy nilly.
