I agree. But considering that it isn't MS Word ... I'd not expect the installation and configuration to be as simple.
Considering the complexity of the beast. I'm amazed it installas at all.
And those of us that started with Oracle in version 7, or before, remember when even reading the manual didn't guarantee a successful installation. Oracle has come a long way.
