Just let me code.

I just read Dr Dobb's post Just Let Me Code! and it reminded me why I started using Unity.  When I first started using unity it pretty much was just code and design in a nice IDE. Select a platform and run build.  Even now that still is true for simple projects.  Of course if you want an iPhone app you have to jump through Apple's registration and key management hoops, not so bad for  Android and still simple for web or stand alone apps. Of course if you happen to working on a project for a large Japanese company to run on a niche platform ( as I am) your back to tool chain management and process control for most of your day. The Unity work seems to disappear, partly because it generally works.
