Roundabouts are a nuisance, while they offer some merits, the sheer lack of education around how to navigate one makes for a very unpleasant experience in most cases.
That's how we felt too until a couple years passed and we no longer noticed it. Now that people have learned how it works its much faster than the old stoplight stopsign combo
Wait, what is the nuisance-- the roundabout of the lack of education? What happens if we replace "roundabout" with "stop sign" in your statement and assume a population that was never trained on what "stop sign" means? Would that work better?
"We don't have experience with a new better system so we must never adopt it."
And so the lack of experience continues on forever.
Come on, man, people will figure it out.
There will always be the dashcam vid of the yokel who tries to make a left into one despite the obvious signage and directional nudges, but dashcam youtube has shown us there's always people out there who have no common sense and should not have a license. Just pop some popcorn and continue scrolling.

If we're talking about the United States, then the problem is the lack of driver education in general.
