Ahhhh.......HELP!!!!

As I've spent the past few days trying to finish up these first few InDesign lessons I am finding out that I really do NOT like this program. I feel like it doesn't have as many options as Photoshop and Illustrator, which I understand it's not so much for creating designs and objects but more so for creating publications. However I don't understand how to do some of the most simple things, like rotating an object with the selection too..maybe I just need to spend some more time with the program.
