I can assure you, it is FAR more difficult to fly that kind of aircraft with no auto systems whatsoever, than a fully coupled Puma for example
I totally agree, flying an unstabelized aircarft in IMC is harder. However training in those aircraft is not done in IMC. Also in a Puma you will actually plan to fly IMC on a daily basis and not just use it as a get out clause.
