Gwcole, It can be easy or very tedious depending on several things, one being background. The example given with the birds, the background is simple and the wires are out of focus. That is easy. Wires in focus against a complex background, not so easy.
Of course, you are more comprehensive and right in what you say. I was replying in regards to the simple background. If you do mostly simple backgrounds one needn't spend $70 on a plug-in. PaintShop Pro has a background removal tool that I've used to remove both wires and traffic lights.
