Frankly, once the correct software is installed and the script process is set up and you get in the swing of things, it is simple. It's getting the key part that was non-trivial for me (on a Mac).

I had to install python then install the stripping program. Now it's three clicks to strip an ePub and then I just convert it with Calibre. We're talking less than a minute of work and they convert beautifully. Mobis are even easier.
If you're comfortable with the legality, the technical issues shouldn't be a barrier. Seriously, I've had more difficulties with iTunes and you don't see people advising computer-averse people not to get an iPod because the software is poorly designed. I think more people are intimidated because it sounds like it would be really technical.
