Core decks vs extensive reading

FML. This is why I don't like making new decks. I took me long enough to figure out how to make my own deck, but this feature might be even more confusing. I don't have trouble with computer stuff in general, but Anki is just so annoying with all the counter-intuitive programing (e.g. instead of having a color background button, you have to input the code and look up the proper color name or number... -.-). That should be an advanced feature, not a requirement.
