Here's what I don't understand about distributed systems: TCP works amazing, so why not use the same ideas? Every message increments a counter, so the receiver can tell the ordering and whether some message is missing. Why is this complicated?

TCP is a one to one relation, distributed systems are many to many.

TCP (which you recommended - but doesn't just "solve distributed programming) is only amazing to the extent that it solves UDP's problems.
