At the moment, yes. When Unity first came out I was disappointed to discover that it was not based on simple text conf files as is usual in gnu/linux. Things are moving though. http://mhall119.com/2012/01/simplified-unity-lens-development-with-singlet/ shows use of a python class library to take much of the pain out of lens scripting. It won't be long before somebody comes up with a gui ide that builds a lens using drag-n-drop or similar. It's the kind of thing I'd have tackled myself when I was younger.
I'm prepared to wait - Unity is perfectly usable as is - and that doesn't seem to be the case with Windows 8 according to all the reports.
