After working on the wallet for 2 days. I finally got my coins back in the wallet. And it took countless attempts doing all kinds of different data moves to get it to come back per say.
There's nothing normal about your experience with it. There's been 100s of users without such problems. We've used the wallet for years without such problems. One way to cause a problem is if you get a power outage or if you shut down your computer without first properly shutting down your wallet. That would corrupt the blockchain data, in which case all you would have to do to recover from it in 99% of cases is to resync the blockchain from scratch, which the wallet would suggest you to do and a simple click + a long wait would get that done.
Also the Bitcoin 2 Core wallet is not meant to be a typical end user's wallet. It's a power user's wallet. Just like Bitcoin Core is not meant for most users. With that said, there are improvements coming, one of which is to make it more power outage/sudden shutdown proof.
Then if simply having a power outage causes the wallet to get corrupted. Then there really is a reason not to use the desktop wallet. I mean your explanation makes zero sense. And also I am not a total
inexperienced user. I got my coins back by myself.
