Anyone annoyed that the Nikon D5100 camera will NOT autofocus with some Nikon lenses?

I know they wouldn't. I teach beginner photography classes and 99.9% of the users/buyers of these type bottom tier models don't even know what ISO is. The majority of the users will use the kit lens and maybe one cheep tele zoom. They will shoot at the default setting in P mode and shoot jpgs. Most will never even PP the images other than what can be done at the drug store kiosk. That is the reality of the vast majority of "photographers".
People who don't do the above typically buy something like a D7000 because they understand the limitations these bottom tier models have.
BTW I use auto iso (setup via my preferences) on my D7000 90% of the time. It is nice to have an iso button but given that when I do manually set ISO I am doing something on a tripod, if I could assign that button to something else, I probably would
