That's the reason i finally went to make my own program rather than changing calibre. I didn't feel like these changes would be welcome, even if i bothered coding it.

Well, the developers *are* doing it right - from their point of view. The program works exactly as desired for the developers and for large numbers of users. So they have no incentive to sink in thousands man/hours to the project.
If I got chance to vote, as an user, I would vote for those thousands of man/hours to be spent adding other features.
I did have to change my way of handling books when I started to use Calibre for more than just a conversion machine and the way of how to access my PRS-500 from Linux. But the benefits that "the Calibre way" of handling things brought vastly outweigh the disadvantages.
I even maintained my own private fork of Calibre when I changed a small number of [mostly cosmetic] little things. Then I found a better way of handling those use-cases using standard built-in features, some plugins and an external program (autokey on Linux - similar to autohotkey on Windows)
