Is it just me, or has the launch of this coin - which seems to have so much innovation - been an unmitigated disaster, exchange-market-wise?

You're obviously correct looking at pricing and functionality of the XCP system over stated claims and goals due to a few CRITICAL problems:
[...]

7) Asset reissuances were broken and then never fixed when the 5xcp asset fee was retroactively put into place. Better know EXACTLY how many shares you want issued the first time, all future re-issuance attempts might appear to succeed, but the program won't register them. Fixing this is going to [...]

On a positive note, the dev might consider asking for stakeholder input before implementing radical protocol/program changes.
I encourage all you bitcoiners to dump some resources into this alt-coin in hopes that one day you'll have a voice in the direction it takes. Or you could just be vocal here and in the other forum to have the dev push more misguided changes such as [the asset issuance fee reduction and 10 block limit for BTC-Pay].
Obviously this is only a partial explanation, please link/quote other analysis for more diverse views that explain the phenomenon you asked about. Historically, the people posting here are unlikely to share such problems either from lack of experience with the software or other reasons.
[...] we will continue to vote with our holdings in the marketplace.
Fixes/quickfixes were advised, but other solutions are available if the problems above are acknowledged:

We've launched MPUSD, using a 200% double bitcoin reserve, this USD denominated asset will allow USD trading on the Counterparty DEX.
Buy it and make some free XCP. . .

In order to promote our new Counterparty Assets which are 100% USD backed and redeemable (for full face value in BTC or MP) currency, we'll be paying a total of at least 2000 XCP in dividends to holders of MPUSD over the next month on about a weekly basis. We may or may not continue this promotion after that into future months depending on interest.
At the current distribution levels of 10,000 MPUSD that would be 0.2 XCP per MPUSD if held for the next month (BIG PROFIT!!).
If there is sufficient demand, we will issue and distribute more MPUSD so long as our publicly verifiable Bitcoin reserves are at least 200% of the MPUSD value distributed (to ensure adequate backing for the currency).
[...]

Despite sufficient asset backing/demand, we stopped issuing MPUSD due to the CRITICAL reissue problem outlined above preventing asset reissues.
Any word if the reissue problem was ever investigated and/or fixed by a dev? Just link to a stock that issued shares more than once if that isn't still broken.

Also, Forgot to mention another reason why investors aren't willing to keep holding this alt-coin (longer than the nerly 6 months we waited so far) and are willing to dump for a mere ~4 times return :
( Cool

the absence of any easy single file/program that can be easily downloaded and installed to trade/send counterparty, similar to these other coins:
https://bitcoin.org/en/download
http://www.nxtcommunity.org/nxt-cryptocurrency/get-started-nxt
https://litecoin.org/
http://namecoin.info/?p=download
http://www.mastercoinwallets.org/#windows-guide

Please correct me if there is a single file download to run counterparty, i.e. the wallet software.

We openly trade cryptocurrencies through Torchat, FacebookChat, and the Counterparty Distributed EXchange (DEX). More info in our feedback thread - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=133439.msg5664449#msg5664449
