You would think a decent wallet would have been the priority. I'm pretty sure the average eth owner is unconcerned, does not care, or does not understand the tech gobbledy gook.

Nope. Ethereum is in its Frontier phase, during which the needs of dapp developers are emphasized. The next phase, Homestead, will focus on building a better user experience and will coincide with the release of a stable Mist wallet with a user-friendly installation process. (Mist is, again, already available for those who know how to navigate Github. There are even precompiled binaries available at https://github.com/ethereum/mist/releases, so you don't have compile anything if you don't want to.)

Edit: As for the accusation that there's no development going on, I have to say that the project is incredibly active. It's just that most of what they're releasing right now is targeted at devs and technical users. The dapp ecosystem is also pretty exciting at the moment. It's just not particularly easy to access for most people yet, as user-friendliness was considered out of scope for this phase of development. Hopefully that'll change with the upcoming Homestead release, though.
