Agree, but it isn't hard if you read around and there doesn't seem to be one definitive right way. Steps followed so far:
Upgrade to OFW 4.82
Run PS3xploit
Install Ferrox Cobra 4.82
Install Webman (to mount backups)
Install Multiman (to mount backups, but more options)
After that use Multiman to install homebrew and FTP to transfer backups.
