C41 is very easy with the right equipment and chemicals. I use a Jobo CP2 processor which I would highly recommend. It handles temp and rotations and I use with Tetenal chemicals. From what I can work out temp is critical. Others would suggest that it is still easy without the Jobo, but I'm not so sure for accurate, consistent results.

It's 'easier' than B/W in respect to iso. All films regardless of iso are processed for the same time. Great for mixing different speed films in the same tank. Also dev times are shorter.

Great picture, John. I also hang a fish-tank water-pump/filter off the side of the Jobo to keep the water bath circulating. :)
 
I still regularly develop my own B&W film, both roll and 4X5 sheet. Also still do some wet printing of my best negs.
