Yeah there are some things with the French language that seem to be very odd and add a lot of unnecessary work ("un" go with some words and "une" with others - and no way to really tell any difference between all the "un" words and the "une" words), but I'm sure all languages have their weird idiosyncrasies, including English. And I'm thinking that English took off more than French worldwide more for societal reasons than for ease of use (even though I'm not sold that English is easier to learn for somebody brand new to the language than French is).
