Sure. To me, it means "working without constant dicking around and
frustration".

If you shop only on price, you'll get what you pay for.

Well, good luck with the cheap approach. I tried it and spent way too
many hours regretting that decision. My time is worth too much to save
200 bucks and fight with a poorly designed machine.

See the thing is, you could have mentioned that specific distinction.
Those of us who spent OUR time to try to help you with YOUR problem,
were trying to be helpful. The lack of detail in your question led me,
at least, to believe that perhaps you had not researched the question in
very much detail. So the subtle difference between "turret" and
"progressive" wasn't nearly as important to me at least, as in trying to
help you with your question.

# your opinion, while welcome, does not address my

Perhaps then you can be more precise with your question, indicate what
specific things you don't want to hear, and so on, so people who are
just trying to help you don't waste their time only to be kicked for
doing so. Failing to do that is going to make it very unlikely that
they'll bother to try to help you again with your next questions.
