True, but it beats hell out of the alternative! :D

I agree that it's hand placement. You want to get your fretting hand in a position where your fingertips are coming down toward the strings at as close to a 90 degree angle as possible. You can't do that on every single chord, but you can do it on the vast majority of them. It takes a lot of work and can be frustrating, but if you persevere and work hard at it, it will pay off in the long run with some nice notes.
