For clarification - are new wallets being released that will easily sync with the network using saved data from the previous wallets?  

I understand that there is a workaround, but honestly I don't have time to join another community in order to figure out how to locate and edit conf files, all so that my wallet will work like it is supposed to.  I have no problem being patient, but to say that the current wallet is the working wallet is not a good answer.
