It depends what distribution you are using, then. As far as I'm 
concerned
I gived up the idea of installing a gnome dev environement on my debian
stable box, and I will probably install a fedora box when I have time.
Installing it in a VirtualBox may be a good idea.

Anyway, I would say that as a user you may order installation easiness 
like that:
0. it's already installed on your shiny new device
1. you just install it through the usual (package manager|appstore)/go 
to the right URL
2. you must make some manual configuration but you won't meet big 
difficulty since there's
   a bundle for your system which almost work out of the box
3. no particular integration for your system, welcome to hell

So far my experience with JHBuild scores 3.
