Another example -- I used to have multiple Gcals, with stuff like kids' sports seperate. The google cal sync only lets you sync the primary calendar (which G says is WM's fault), so I had to merge everything into one cal. Wouldn't have had to do that for Android.
Of course, I had to jump through a whole different set of hoops when I went from a HP200LX to a Palm E2 a few years back. It's just par for the course.

That may be true, as far as transitions go. However, that seems to be assuming that all things are otherwise equal (in other words you can do the same things in Android that one used to do in WM).
My original post was not about trouble with transition, but rather that there are things you just can't do in the newer platform yet. I should emphasize "yet", since it may very well catch up soon... However certain things, like the lack of Tasks as part of the synchronized PIM, may really take some time if it is to ever be resolved. This is true regardless of any "hoops" one may have to jump through during the transition.
