my beef with this whole area is the park and walking around / between levels to get in, out, or to anything - it's really difficult and tiring. Maybe once the last two lots are built it will gel?

You wouldn't say this in San Francisco or Hong Kong!
The level changes are an awesome change of pace in a dead-flat city, and they open up all kinds of great views and overlooks. Most of the level changes are handled carefully with monumental stairs and elevators scattered throughout.
Honestly I think LSE does gel for the most part, although up until Vista the streets themselves were the usual CDOT standard from everywhere else in the city - wide empty concrete pavement, sidewalks too narrow, etc. Missed opportunity to provide truly pedestrian-friendly streetscapes. Hopefully this mistake is not repeated on The 78, Lincoln Yards, and Bronzeville Lakefront.
