B737NG A/P, what a joke!

I´ve flown several types including aircraft from BAe, Fokker, MD and now I´m on the B737NG. Honestly, I was very disappointed with the level of performance of the autopilots. I find them very rough and the FMC is definitely not as good as the ones on the MD-11 or the F-100. To be honest, I was not at all impressed with the aircraft itself. I understand the airplane had to be designed that way to reduce costs, but they could have definitely made an improvement to the A/P and especially to the FMC. They should have learned a few things from Mr. Douglas. Opinions please.
