Commenting system lack???

Hi,
I'm trying to build a site with Drupal 7.14 core and I would like to share some of my observations that might be of interest for everyone involved with Drupal.

I would like to point out something that could be considered as s a slight functional issue.

1. Nodes and their organisation.
Let me consider a node as a basic information container. If you wish to make collection of nodes, rather then fields, you should then rely on views and panels(context etc modules), to sort, filter, organize,list them. And views and panels are indeed very powerful tools.
Why nodes, and not fields then? Well, because fields are not always adequate for our purpose. Especially when you want to enable commenting (node image gallery for exemple).

2. Commenting system
For an interactive site, commenting functionality is something very usual and common. We have commenting module in drupal core, which is implemented to work with nodes.

=> And this where it becomes really annoying. If you want to have functional commenting, then you get stuck with nodes, without all needed extensions provided by Views and Panels.

For instance, you want a navigation or pager system for your content-type. You can find modules for that. But it's not sufficient. You can't go further than just navigating through nodes of the same content type. It doesn't really make sense if you wish to organize nodes by date, taxonomy, etc.

Well, if option of viewing nodes with comments is possible in custom views(format:content;full view, enable comments), then why there's no option for comments not to redirect to original node after submitting a new one???

Maybe I'm missing something. Correct me, if I'm wrong.

I think that this should be achieved with some not too much complicated and elaborate workaround.

Thanks for reading.
