I'm ok with hard, I'm ok with frustrating. I love Battletoads, for example, but Mega Man World I has far too much of the cheapest sort of tricks. Yes, I can memorize where the traps are, but there are just so many, and it's basically all the stage design has going for it. It doesn't help that the bosses, like Cutman for example, are almost impossible to avoid the attacks for. Sheer luck, that's how I beat Cutman with the p shooter. At least he's much more managable with his weakness.
I'm not exactly defending MMII here, it is easy, and the choice of sound effects on those songs is ear grating especially at higher volumes. What I am saying is I can't consider MMWI a good game. They basically go in opposite directions on the spectrum of mediocrity. What I can say is that MMWII is a much better "baby's first Mega Man" than MMWI. So, that's what I mean, I would rather play a pathetically easy game that's over in an hour than a frustratingly annoying game where the only emotion I felt upon beating it was a steadily cooling rage. Heck, I blasted through MMWII a second time just to get the last password saved to a document I store such things in. I have zero desire to ever play MMWI again. I may pop in MMWIII from time to time, it's ok. I definitely will be playing more of MMWIV.
By the way, look up Quint's Revenge. It's a fan-made sequel starring Quint that basically is MMWII done right, with some head cannon about why Quint could be so easily beaten (he was suppressed). I love stuff like this. I wouldn't mind seeing Wily's Revenge "done right" in fact.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
