I find my SD-10g very easy to program for fixed wing aircraft. The swash mixing menu was a little confusing to me for setting up helicopters, but I've managed well enough. Of all of the other radios on the market, I can only point you to the Hitec Aurora 9 as another option that is super easy to program.
I've been flying my SD-10g for three seasons now, and I'm extremely happy with it. I wouldn't consider buying another radio, unless Global and Sanwa announce something spectacular at Toledo next month that I just can't live without!
