I don't know if this fully addresses this issue, but there's
a package on MathSource (MongoArray.m) that I've used in the past
to make stacked plots with shared axes. I agree this is harder
than it has to be though. The package on MathSource is:
/Enhancements/Graphics/2D/0208-538
"Array of Framed Plots: Shared Axes or Inverted Axes"
