It might look crazy, but I've never had a problem using it, without looking. Certainly much, much better than the ridiculous Jeep shifter.
Re: the gear order, since it's an automatic you spend 99% of your time going between park, reverse, and drive, so the only one you regularly go through is neutral. It's very rare to need, say, first gear.
Edit: Oh, and I've never left it in drive thinking it was in park. Park = all the way up = hard to screw up.
