And, for all of its admitted phonetical weirdness, English's huge-ass vocabulary picked up from all four corners of the earth and lack of grammatical gender are, I would argue, virtues rather than bugs.
Couldn't agree more. The genders and endings of words changing based on what function they play is great not to have. German has
three genders - masculine, feminine, and neuter, and there is often no logic whatsoever to it beyond the logical question, "What gender is a given object?"
Girl (Mädchen) is neuter, for instance. The capitalization of nouns, though, is to me logical.
