Problem with Europeans is that they don't see business the same way as Americans...
As a french Canadian ( or Quebecois .. ) we have a bit of both, but still expect direct answers to direct questions... never got that from ecoders.biz... too bad.

As a happy Xtract customer, I came across this thread and feel the need to point a few things out. First off, you said you paid for the $119 version of Xtract. How much did you pay for SiteDepth...$599? So to begin with you're comparing a product that costs 5 times as much.
Secondly, let's look at the pricing scheme >
http://ecoders.biz/pricing.php. You went for the lite version which only includes an install. The control panel is very easy to use, you just have to figure out the templates. Documentation for the templates is available.
Had you paid for the Pro version at $499, you'd have a product which offers most of the features that SiteDepth does. In addition you'd be able to run unlimited sites (this costs $899 with SD) and you get the source code ($3995 with SD). For $499 you don't even have to setup the templates yourself. Get all your pre-organized content on your server and Xtract support will get it added to the CMS, thumbnailed, etc.
Truth is Xtract is an amazing CMS solution for the money. Consider the fact that maybe you were asking too much for $119. Had you purchased the pro version instead (for at least $100 less than SD), the things you had trouble with would have been done for you and you would have been given a guided tour so you would know how to use the product
