If your sole goal is to sit down at your computer and send some money, this is the way to go.
_The disadvantages._ You have very little control over what's happening, and you can't do anything fancy. If you're planning to write more complex Bitcoin software or want a deeper understanding of how Bitcoin works, then the easy way is to more than a dull diversion before you get to the real stuff.
