@dublove -- Do yourself a favour and learn about InDesign. You'll then be able to answer many of your questions yourself and you'll see that many of what you call unscientific bugs are in fact things you misunderstood or and simply good features. There are bugs here and there, of course, but when you know more about InDesign you'll be able to tell the difference between bug and misunderstood feature.

Some suggestions. There's a lot of material on Linda.com, all nicely organised in videos. You could also buy yourself two books: Classroom in a Book, and Real-World InDesign. These books are still in print. Classroom in a Book deals with the basics, Real-World InDesign is a reference book that provides a full description of ID. It has a good table of contents and an excellent index, so you'll always find what you're looking for.

The two books don't cover the latest InDesign versions (CC is the last version covered by Real-World InDesign) but that doesn't matter: hardly anything has changed. Most (if not all) of your queries here about pretty basic things, the two books are perfectly fine for your needs.
