the drawback with "easily enough" is that you cannot resist
modifying it -- so instead of learning how to use the tool you
have in the best way, you end up hacking on the tool instead
of doing more important work.

(fwiw, we're using a very slightly modified version of Ping's
original one-day hack.  took a couple of months to find the
right "use patterns", but now that we know how to use it in
a way that fits our development process, I doubt you can
find a "more usable" tool...)
