For the life of me I can't understand why anyone would jump through so many hoops in order to run Widows software in a Linux system. Wine and the various virtual machines are one royal pain in the arse to set up. Why not dual boot Windows and Linux?
Neither WINE nor virtual machines are a royal pain in the arse to set up, at least from my recollection of using WINE maybe 5-6 years ago. Granted I haven't used it since then but it would be odd if it got worse over time.
As for VMs, they are insanely easy to set up. I use several. Dual booting rarely makes any sense anymore unless you absolutely need both OSes to directly interface with the computer hardware.
