Adobe PS Gradient Screw Ups

Photoshop needs to be able to easily place gradients on shapes. What is wrong with your software. I cannot find any answer on how to run this effectively.

What is worse is they have it working in illustrator but not in photoshop. Who F%&$ing cares about vector versus pixel make a fix! make it auto run what it needs to. If you need to manually alter after the auto setup then allow it. What is going on now is heinous. 

Solution:
Basically, do not go to the tool bar on the side where it says gradients. Instead in PS it is all on the bottom of the layers panel. I know this process has to do with vectorizing but I believe there is a way to automate the style mask  using the normal tool bar gradient button.  Illustrator already works this way.

Here is the video I used to find the solution
