Hmm, this is a good discusion. I never personally had a problem with Aragorn. Part of the reason why Legolas didn't take charge was simply because he did not want to. He did not want that responsiblility. Perhaps Aragorn did not want to either but somebody had to.

Another thing is that Aragorn was The best of his race while Legolas was the 2nd best of his race. Even though it could be debated that Elves are more powerful then men, Legolas wasn't the top of his race.

Aragorn, besides knowing the lands better, also knew more about the ring and its past, also about the politics of other peoples. I think that he was far better at guessing what the other person was thinking or planning then either Legolas or Gimli or Boromir.

Aragorn had a lot on his plate, as has been said before. Arwen, Gondor, Boromir, Men, Elrond, Gandalf, all the hobbits... If he is a little testy every once and awhile, GIVE HIM A BREAK! If I were him, I would have cracked a long time before LOTR started.
