Lots of people don't like a middle pickup for the same reason. Some strat-type owners simply lower the middle pickup to take it out of the equation (but some love the sound of that pickup, so don't).
I've watched pros play between the neck/middle and between the middle/bridge, depending on what sound they're going for (softer, or more twang) and what pickup or pickups are selected. I try to do that.
