I have a Kodak 7590. It is a fairly fully featured cam for the money, although they sort of copped out on things that would be cool to have, like higher ISO settings in Manual mode. Although its low-light performance is better than what it replaced by far, it is still not as versatile as my Pentax K1000 with 800 film in it.
I agree on the software interface, although I have learned to manage it. It really isn't much use unless you are posting pics online constantly or emailing them to Grandma right out of the camera. I do use it to unload the thing, but then I drop to other software for everything else.
The most useful single piece of software that I have is
Multiren , which allows me to easily give distinctive names to those long strings of pics with common dates, locations, etc.
