URL segment depth problems

If that’s so, why has the default welcome page

Saying that they don't work is a bit of an overstatement I think, they do - CI can't change the basic functionality of your browser.

But... trying to keep track of where you are currently located and what the relative path to each controller/method would be a pain in the ass, quickly getting into the realm of damn near impossible. It's so much easier to use the functions EllisLab provided for us - and why not, that's why you are using a framework, remember?

On the topic of the welcome page: the user guide is not part of the application - therefore it's really easy to link to it. Plus, for those of us who have quite customized how our development environment is laid out - that link doesn't work.
