Interesting feedback, thanks for the writeup. It's definitely true that FQL is designed differently (and there are a few good reasons for that, one is scalability). One cool aspect of it is that you can easily generate it so the future is bright, it wouldn't be surprising that we see more and more community driven libraries that generate FQL to make it easier to write. That said, we are also working hard on simplifying it and making it easier in the future.
If you do ever give it another try here are some good resources:
