You are definitely right that it's a pain.  Everyone pretty much  
tolerates it though, because it is definitely the best of the best.

I've seen many want-to-be-Trac programs.  None of them go the  
distance, sadly.  When I last looked at Collaboa it didn't have or  
even plan to include a wiki.  That kills it as a Trac replacement for  
me.

And really, is Rails deployment much better than Trac deployment?  ;)
