I'm an MTGO believer as well, but what regular game actions take you 15+ (I know you're exaggerating) clicks on Arena? The interface isn't perfect on Arena, but it's decently functional most of the time. My gripes with Arena are mainly the monetization strategies and the insane amount of time it takes them to add cards (even with the supposed machine learning to program the cards) and features (practically none get added anymore).
Cat-Oven, Shelly or Bowmaster after a wheel, basically any stack battle that also triggers an on-board effect, trying to resolve Tainted Pact to actually exile your library...
MTGO does it right: you click auto-yield once on a trigger that's going to occur 15+ times in a match, and you basically never have to touch it again. MTG:A sometimes let's you click resolve, but if you need to interact with the stack while there's triggers you'll have to click through them all.
Ah, I pretty much only play draft so I don't run into those kinds of things often. The lack of right clicking really hampers Arena's interface.
