I agree. I’m also coming from Joomla, which allows you to write one php file, and just echo your sections (modules) wherever you like. It’s very simple and a nice way for writing custom themes. I have yet to figure out menus and theming in WordPress. I think the user interface is much nicer, but in order to get a ‘normal’ website, not just a blog site set up, it seems to be a huge pain. Joomla’s menu system makes it incredibly easy to just add a link to anything, anywhere. And creating multiple menus is a snap.
It would be nice if this was changed in the future.
