Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be much choice out there at present. You have calibre and ADE, then you have the vendor specific software. Vendor specific software only plays with the vendor's hardware, and only sometimes handles third-party books. That leaves ADE and calibre, which are the two extremes.
That being said, it would probably be straight-forward to offer a customized version of calibre. The option to simplify the interface is already built into the interface. It's just that the people who want that cleaner interface rarely have the patience to do it themselves.

Patience or interest. What some people look like are missing here is not everybody is interested on playing with a program with a lot of options till get the two or three options they need but prefer other people to do it. It's not lack of patience but interest.
