Except for hitting your head against the counterweight bar while doing an exposure I find image processing always the worst pain in the bud. 
The first bit (dark flat bias aligning stacking etc.) is not that bad (unless you find another method like I regularly do), but then I get stranded in a plethora of processing algorithms with 50.000 parameters. Not to mention the last fiddling with the curves. 
And that constant urge to reprocess images because you've find a better way of shifting bits.

I agree, IP is a pain, but the better the data the less of a pain it is. It's no fun removing gradients, blooming spikes, excessive noise and trying to tease a bright background down to nothing without removing the bonafide low-level image info.
I found that the Duckadang images were much easier to process than any of the images I take from here. Dark sutraction, flat-field, alignment, sum combine, minor level adjustment and done! No need for excessive levels/curves and no need for any sharpening or noise reduction.
