Sure, a numeric keypad would probably be faster than the the circular sliders of SFOS, but since you have set dozens of distinct alarms already, why not just editing the same one all the time? This would avoid the clutter that seems to be one of your main concerns.

I don't think the SFOS alarm applications tries to outsmart the user, it just allows programming which days to use it, and turning it on or off regardless of the day. In my opinion this is very convenient, and don't want anything more complicated than that, but I did not feel that these extra features came at the cost of usability since if I cannot plan my wake-up times on a weekly basis, then I'll just use the alarm as I would with a simple one: set one to go off every morning, and adjust the time in evenings when need be.
