 after spending several hours with styling my comments, comment form and
 using a plugin for the error messages, by default wordpress leads to a new
 unstyled page showing the errors and only leading back to the homepage if
 one presses the browser's back button, i'm asking myself why there are no
 templates and functionality for this all day task.

 please introduce:
 - a template for the comments
 ... yes i know there is comments.php but the comments themself must be
 templated in a callback function which is terrible (e.g. <?php
 wp_list_comments( array( 'callback' => 'shape_comment' ) ); ?>)

 - a template for the comment form
 ... yes i know there is athe possibility to give the comment_form function
 $args, but this is much more terrible than the comment list "templating",
 having the need to "template" the comment form in an array
 (!!!...........)

 - a way that wordpress reloads the current post page if a user sends a
 comment and is missing required fields like the comment itsself or his/her
 email address. afterwards showing error messages besides (or wherever my
 template says so) the comment form fields.

 that would be a fundamental improvement and a must.
 i can't explain, why everything in wordpress is so easy to template but
 the comments.

 best regards
