Agreed!

It comes in all sizes and shapes.
The big box stores even have it, and the straps for conduit sizes. Plumbing and tubing straps are also available.
Also available in galvanized at most electrical supply houses. Both 
the lager and smaller stuff.

And for what the big box stores don't have, McMaster-Carr will deliver 
it UPS the next day, at least in the US.
It's available painted, bare, galvanized, steel, aluminum, and 
fiberglass, in a myriad of sizes and shapes that are mostly compatible 
with each other.
I think of it as an Erector Set for grownups.

If you're working with "round tubes" and need to connect them securely, there's products for scaffolding that work nicely.

I know them as Cheeseborough clamps, but I suspect that's a specific tradename.
They're used in theatrical rigging, and are available to fit all sizes 
of pipe and tube.
The simple ones are about $5 each, and you could probably buy them 
used from a rigging supply place.
