So, use QGIS! ;)
Seriously, I understand your feelings. I know most GRASS developers do
not agree with me, but I still think the good thing about GRASS is its
analytical power, and the easiest way to approach it (until you're at
ease with CLI) is through QGIS. Unfortunately this route did not attract
much interest from GRASS (and until recently also from QGIS) developers,
so there are still things to improve in this area.
All the best.
