I started making bread during the bakers' strike in 1974, it tested so much better than any commercial stuff we continued, although I now use a dough hook to take the really hard work out of it.
It's true that it takes some time to get the hang of it, and of course getting used to your own oven and the vagaries of the weather - temperature and humidity have a significant effect, but in the end it's well worth it. Happy baking.
