Anyone else disappointed in the notification centre's features?

Don't get me wrong, its a nice feature that has long been needed, but coming from jailbroken lockscreen apps (LockInfo, etc), Apple's implementation is pretty weak. Virtually nothing can be customized, (I don't consider the options provided to really do anything).

Only the next day's calendar apps can be shown, many items only show in notification centre (not lockscreen). No ability at all to have lockscreen items (weather, stocks, calendar....hello?), can't read emails/delete, no ability to clear individual alerts within a single app, etc, etc.

More and more serious drawbacks are appearing the more I use the notification centre, which is sad, as I was hoping to be able to live without my jailbreak, but that doesn't appear to be the case. You'd think Apple would at least be able to emulate a fraction of the options available in jailbroken notification apps, since they've been out for years.....
