Actually, most of them are frustrating. The balance, received etc. commands are extremely confusing and it's hard to remember how you can obtain the info that actually matters (it might be simpler to use listunspent and ignore accounts altogether). Now that bitcoind can even be ran only as a dumb node (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/3240) I think it is going to be more and more that; a dumb node for alternative clients to use. Armory provides already a sane account system, you have multiple wallets, which are separate collections of addresses, with no leakage. And you can label transactions! OMG! I also have high hopes for armoryd (the programmable part of Armory). The usage of empty strings in some RPC commands is so frustrating. Actually, most of them are frustrating.
