I think direct warping is easier in terms of yarn management and minimizing the tools necessary for the new weaver to buy. But it seems really stupid to fish everything through the slots, then unfish half of them and put them through the holes. If it worked better, I might understand it being so heavily promoted.
I definitely agree with you that this "easier" method completely put me off weaving. My fingers are crossed that pre-cutting all the yarn will help reduce the frustration. I really hope this works because I cut all the yarn this afternoon...
