Enertion FOCbox question

ENERTION FOCBOX

So completely disappointed in what a struggle it is to use VESC tool on this unit. I have never had such trouble with even older ESCs. I've never had to jump through so many hoops or execute so many specific, special operations just to get firmware flashed that allows the thing to function properly.

 This is a Vedder unit, v1.6 - HW4.12.  
I don't want to, and shouldn't have to dedicate a part of my life to software expertise in order to program a VESC so I can ride my skateboard.

Can someone tell me if new Vedder VESCs like the units TRAMPA sells are more user friendly and less willing to spray their guts out in a shower of pranks and a cloud of smoke?
I'd personally prefer to ruin stuff while I'm riding not on the bench and because I clicked the mouse to execute a detection.
