I personally never had a problem with having to learn the 3. It was something I knew I was going to have to do before I started learning the language. I also like the idea of the Kanji having meanings.

Also it's more like learning 1 as hiragana and katakana didn't take long at all. Both in a few days each or something, and that's probably slower than a lot of people have learnt it in.
