As I stated in an earlier comment, I don't think the other "good features" have much to do with the hacks. I mentioned that the larger display and integrated FM radio with RDS were features I really liked. There is no reason a standard user would have to worry about any of the hacks so no, you won't have to waste any time with them. I personally haven't even used the hacks and don't find them necessary at all for my current use.
I don't think the hacks add anything critical that a standard user will ever care about and just thought this technical audience may want to know how people are already adding functionality to the device, granted some should have been added by Microsoft first.
I personally like the user experience on the Zune and find it easier to use than the click wheel on the iPod. iTunes is better though, but the Zune Marketplace isn't difficult or anything.
