No, it's a real pain, and doing a lot of ostensibly ordinary things is always harder than I expect. I end up having to block out my entire day if I have to work on a moderately complex one, and it would always have been faster to use a cross platform language like C# to make a shell application in retrospect. I admit that for the simplest of jobs it's fine, I guess.
