For me it's interesting. If the camera is an olympus, slaying the settings
monster is mind numbing, and I think I know why. I have a friend who is an
enthusiastic Sony shooter, who has been shooting them for a long time. He has
no problem, and I've seen him assist others with Sony's particularly obtuse
menu items. What does he do? He translates the menus back into Japanese! He is
fluent in Japanese, so that's easy for him t to say, but I've seem him do this
and exclaim "Look at this! here's where they got it wrong. " and badda boom,
badda bing, irs set.
So, what Olympus may need to do is hire someone like my friend, who is equally
a native Japanese speaker and a native english speaker, not some boy engineer
who took a one semester English class in high school.
I've got a Panasonic and an Olympus m4/3 camera, and Nikon D3, and I have
little problems with the menus.

Part of what keeps all of us from dying of boredom is that we are all different.
For some folks, a new camera is a major trauma, to be tamed with manual
reading, long meditations on the problems with
menus, explanatory books, now videos, brain retraining, and so on. For others,
it's the inspiration to do new things -
because it's different.
For me, there is often something I want to do, imagine doing. Then when gear
becomes available, it's first use is
fulfilling that fantasy. Then other uses may arise.
I can recall as a teenager desperately wanting what decades later turned out to
be focus bracketing. And I always wanted
longer lenses. My dad bought the first 200 mm lens ever available for SLRs. I
loved it, and was frustrated by it. Loooonger!
