I agree with you, I stumbled upon several cases in my last few apps where I cursed the EL for what it was, and spent hours to program workarounds for simple things like you mentioned.I don't think that simple EL helps the simplicity of application.
I think the force the user to do it exactly one way approach of the EL breaks the general design of JSF which is more like a huge toolset which does not enforce too much at all.
