It's not harder than any other car, and I don't know why people act like it's a huge deal. As a matter of fact, the convenient filter placement and the fact that it drains down makes it easier and cleaner than a lot of other vehicles, and the side-mounted drain bolt also makes the whole process nice and clean.
Agreed. I change mine in the garage and don't even jack the car up! My drain pan fits under the oil pan just fine, and I can take the underside guard off and put it back on with a small ratchet.
Now that you mention it, the oil filter assembly IS "drip proof" if you give it a few minutes to drain after unscrewing it a few turns.
