While Drupal is obviously robust, it would be nice to see user friendly urls. For example, instead of Drupal setting "http://drupal.org/forum/3" for the Theme development forum, maybe the url could be "http://drupal.org/forum/themes" - "http://drupal.org/node/view/1454#comment" for "htmlArea successfully hacked into Drupal" could be "http://drupal.org/node/view/htmlArea#comment"

Disadvantage: what if a later node has the same name/starts with the same name?

An article about user friendly urls may be found at:
How to make URLs user-friendly (interesting, that is not a user friendly url )

Also, as an example, metadot supports user friendly urls.
