You are right. Your message needs to be relayed to the bitshares wallet design team. I am not sure who they are. @Fav and @Svk?
Some must haves I think are important to show on the first page are account balances, transactions history, an option to send and receive money, and an overview of the market. This is just my take on what the landing page (the first page) should look like (assuming you already have a wallet created).
I think the future is to have a wallet with multiple templates/themes or multiple wallets with different GUI. The more options we have the better.
