Maybe but it doesn't have as many plugins either. So you are bound to find more bad ones. I've used my main plugins for a long time across versions without much trouble. All I had to do was disable version checking and they usually work, if not they are usually updated before long. It's even better now because the about:config string doesn't need to be changed for new versions anymore. Just set extensions.checkCompatibility.nightly to false and forget about it.
As for clean, that's a matter of personal taste. Some people want clean and ease of use in exchange for reduced functionality and/or customization. Is that wrong? Not necessarily, the iphone sells well. But others will want the extra features, even if it means clutter, config files, and command lines. I'm glad there are choices available for all kinds of needs/desires.
