Well, yeah, if you have a procedure already worked out then
of course it's a lot faster. The same would apply for Plan
9. You're still comparing apples and oranges (work needed
the first time you encounter the system vs. work needed
after you've created streamlined procedures).
You should also consider what it is that you end up with.
The best-configured Windows system is still inadequate
(without a lot of third-party software) for anyone who
wants the kind of flexibility found in UNIXy environments.
This reflects a difference in customer base for Windows
vs. research platforms; Microsoft always favors appearance
over substance because that is what their users respond to.
