Thanks for sharing Lane, very well written!

Have seen a lot of scrum hating recently, and I can understand all your points, the thing I'm missing in your post and in many others are alternatives!

Scrum was created as an alternative to the old waterfall way, and so far, haven't see anything that complete as alternative, a proper framework that can guide any development team.

Do you know about any proper documented frameworks that can help solving this problems?

Hi, I wrote some articles about agile not so long ago. You might want to check it out.
Also, I've found the process used at Basecamp is quite close to what we use at my work. And it works for us. Its called ShapeUP, check it out.

I don't think that's the right way to look at it. There are real problems with scrum and they show themselves in frustration of people involved with it. The are things that work in scrum and things that don't. Daily standup is excellent for instance. Pointing stinks. Scrum master should not even be a role, but a shared understanding of few principles.
