Interesting, isn't it, what emacs users consider to be "quite painless".
Users of non-legacy tools tend to set the bar rather higher, needless to
say, typically expecting upgrading something (other than the operating
system itself) to take a few minutes, tops, with most of that spent doing
something else while progress meters (first "downloading", then
"installing") crawl to 100% and the result working OOTB without manual
config changes or other nursemaiding.

That much is quite believable. :)
