Andy,
Based on your WAF listing, I will need to replace everything in my family room! Except the shag carpeting, lava lamp and life size statue of Tiny Tim.
In defense of the distaff side (and let's include guests, baby sitters and children) and remotes, when multiple remotes are involved and the requisite time hasn't been spent with manuals and understanding how multiple components work, it is certainly difficult to manage all of the correct buttons to be pushed in sequence. When you move to a single universal remote, which you can spend hours programming for yourself, the complexity can become more difficult. I chose a Home Theater MX-700 remote for the above reasons and was able to set it up to make it very easy for my wife to navigate. This enhanced her enjoyment and eliminated the need for me to be a "personal remote control technician".
