[oe] How should OE be used?

I have always thought that oe needed an easier way to choose packages, 
like buildroot.

Some gui that can edit all the conf's and task's, and image.bb's 
painlessly and easily would make a tom of difference.
The learning curve for oe is too high.

Take buildroot, for example. A person can download it, run make 
menuconfig, set up the system, arch, and select packages, all in one go. 
You do not need to know that you should have to either edit or create 
your own tasks, or image .bb's, much less the syntax for those files.
