First of all, it's great that you tried Byteball and took the time to write a post about it. I totally understand your frustration, however, you have to keep in mind that crypto is in a very early stage and you are an early adopter. Crypto brings a bunch of new concepts a regular user is not familiar with and even though some of the smartest developers work in this space, they are usually not the best at designing user interfaces.
Creating an easy to use straightforward product based on a cutting edge technology that is disrupting the current banking and financial systems is extremely difficult. It requires many iterations, probably several years, until it becomes easily adoptable by the mainstream user.
I remember when the Internet came in my high school, the IT teachers told us it was not interesting and there was nothing to see :) At that time it was mainly text based, the World Wide Web was in it's early stage and we used a different protocol called Gopher to browse contents available mainly on university servers. It wasn't user friendly at all, but what would have happened if the developers hadn't released those apps and technologies and instead had waited for a time until they could come up with YouTube and Twitter and Instagram to make it consumable to the majority? Very little progress would have been made and probably they would still be working on Netscape 1.0 in their labs and wondering if it was user friendly enough already to release.
So I would encourage you to keep experimenting with Byteball and give your feedback to the community and the developers so they can keep iterating and fine tuning the apps to make it more user friendly. That is how progress will be made.
