I actually don't think that the lens control ring (front) is too hard to change, but the rear ring is definitely too easy, forcing me to move EC to the front ring. After shooting some sunsets a few nights ago, I instantly became enamored of the functionality of this new, physical control ring. It's almost impossible for a P&S camera to get a proper exposure of a sunset (especially at 28mm-equivalent), and using EC via menus was just too much of a pain. I'm sold on the new feature.
The popup flash is indeed a bit flaky, but for me, any image that the flash would be used for wouldn't be a big deal if the camera decided not to use it. The Function Set center button is pretty quick to access settings, and I think you can assign 'Flash' to the assignable button. Not a big deal either way, for me at least.
Maybe EC on the lens ring isn't so bad after all. And you're right, it's not too hard to turn for that purpose (I tried again today). I still find it too hard when MFing zoomed, but then I don't think I'll actually be using it much in that mode, even if it was smoother.
As for assigning Flash to the S-button, that didn't seem to be possible, not in the standard menu anyway...
