I thought I was the only one experiencing this. My feeling is that the sometimes extreme slowness of their website is not unintentional, kind of like their arbitrary canceling or delaying of transactions and blaming it on false positives in their "high risk detection algorithm".

I don't see how this is complicated or confusing and I completely disagree with you. I think this is absolutely the right direction to be going if coinbase (and bitcoin) want to become mainstream. An exchange is mainly for traders and most people like myself don't want to look at candlestick charts to know when to purchase or make a bid without any certainty of obtaining coins or worse compete with bots. On the other hand many people I know have kept away from bitcoin because of how seemingly complicated and confusing it is to supposedly keep secure -don't keep coins on exchange, use paper wallet, encrypt backups of private keys. This is definitely a step in the right direction towards attracting a more mainstream audience. As for a 'Pay with Bitcoin' button, are you kidding, how do you think overstock, newegg etc accept bitcoin payments - this is one of the first things they did.
