What do I especially dislike and yet find in certain BMS?

• Canned solutions prevailing over flexible tools: whereas the opposite is, for example, import and formatting languages where the user can create new patterns by using existing instructions
  
• Poor searching, e.g. :
  • dumb windows-like interface with no clearly articulated query expressions
  • 1:1 field based indexes without clustering, where Umberto Eco as an author is in one index and when he is a translator he stays in another
    
• Lack of term, look-up, lists
  
• Sorting without customizable nested levels, non-filing leading strings,  and preferences for diacritics handling
  
• Obscure layout of the database structure in terms of relationship between RT-record types and their fields: fields should be tagged, clearly identified, with their attributes (be they fixed or mobile), across the different RT-reference types
  
• Bad documentation, such as: poor, disorganized, scattered, overlapping, inaccurate, outdated
