I will agree at the impatientness. I am a complete noob. I just started looking into modding about a week ago. I already have the files I need on my PC to get the box running once I decide on a chip, it took about 3 days of reading and a single evening if searching. Was it a PITA? yeah a small amount, but I cannot blame people for covering thier backsides and not linking/posting things M$ thinks are illegal.
The one thing I find annoying though is when people ask what is better and they get pointed to the damn spreadsheet lisitng of features. Features don't mean CRAP when it comes to how something works or what is better. Install issues, programming, bugs and interface are what makes something good or bad, not just the feature set.
Think about it, a Kia Sophia and a BMW 5 series. Both are 4door, AC, radio, power everything, yadda, yadda. but which is better? umm hrmm let me think.... Pricing aside, I think you get my point?
