Hard.  It takes at least an hour (more probably 2 hours) to install
all this stuff and find and read relevant information (when i was
installing lilydev my first time, it took me half of the night).  And
don't forget additional 5 GB of space you need for the VM, and that
you have to use a completely new, unfamiliar environment (i.e. a new
OS).

Compare it to something like github (i'm not saying we should use
github, that's just an example) when it takes 2 minutes and you can do
everything in your browser (obviously, i'm speaking about small
patches).  To me, the difference is obvious.
