No joke! 
I have started to setup my Latex project and have successfully ported my Word table of contents to it. I did have some trouble though, as we got our own style template here at the University, and at the first time compiling it*, I got an error like “GUI framework cannot be initialized”. First I thought this might be, because some package is missing, or rather “WTF”? Googleing a bit, the answer was “This happens when a missing package needs to be installed and the pop-up window cannot be displayed.”
The solution to the problem was, that I had to reconfigure TeXnicCenter, to automatically install missing packages, without ever asking me…somehow sounds “dangerous”, but on the other hand, what can happen?
*: Isn’t that the one and only dream of every programmer: compile your text document in order to be able to see it with all the formatting?
