Bullshit.  I find "admin" a pain to use; the BSD "sccs" front-end
program's "sccs create" and "sccs enter" programs make it much nicer -
it takes *fewer* steps to use them than to use full-frontal "admin". 
Perhaps you just didn't have the right front-ends?

The "sccs" program also adds useful functionality, such as the "sccs
info" function which tells you what modules are checked out for editing
and who has them checked out.
