I like that I can automagically update many things within the software now. What I don’t like is that when I update a theme, it eats all of my settings. Afterward, I have to redo my header and reupload my sidebar. Pain in my ass.

Maybe try setting up a child theme? Can be a pain in the beginning, but might be a time saver in the long run.
what does that do? :clicks linky:
Hopefully the link helped explain, but basically a child theme is a way of using someone else's theme but not having to redo all your custom tweaks every time they update that theme.
Child theme file basically says "use WhateverShinyTheme but with these changes." So if WhateverShinyTheme updates, your blog uses the latest version and keeps your changes because as far as it's concerned it's using your child theme.
If that makes any sense at all. :)
aaah. i see. makes sense.
