I honestly found it no harder than anything else - I just did a 300m run to an outbuilding, as 802.11g just wasn’t cutting it, and the project basically compromised two media converters, a reel of armoured fibre, and a termination kit - took all of an afternoon to do. I guess it’s just overkill in most scenarios - but for long runs, you can’t beat it. I’ve also got a 200m cat6 PoE run with a repeater/voltage booster halfway down, and it does duplexed gigabit just fine - which even further limits the scenarios in which fibre is the better option. Even with the repeater it was cheaper than the fibre alone, never mind the media converters.
