I forgot to comment that you are very right in that. For example:

   * PHP ldap bindings are great (we have used this API in our web
     application which I mentioned). (Pear also includes Net_LDAP2 as
     an object oriented API.)
   * Also there is http://www.unboundid.com/products/ldapsdk/ for Java
     which is allegedly better than (now Oracle's) JNDI. There is also
     Novell's JLDAP.
   * Perl includes Net::LDAP.
   * For JSP, one might want to see:
         o http://www.lumdev.net/node/3824
         o http://www.lumdev.net/node/3861
   * For MS ASP.net System.DirectoryServices, check:
         o http://forums.asp.net/p/907421/1007517.aspx
   * Mono ASP.net framework ships with Novell.Directory.Ldap library
     and probably others too.

The only drawback, of course, is that it takes time and resources to do one's own development!

So, specialized open-source applications like for example GoSA and PowerDNS Administrator (works only with SQL backend) in many cases offer administrators very useful tools with a fraction of the otherwise required effort.
