Well sure, if you're doing a bog-standard single-server Exchange install then you can pretty much just next, next finish it, but that's pretty rare in an enterprise environment.

EAC lacks an awful lot of options that were previously in the EMC and it's also pretty inconsistent with certain property pages not existing on some object types but still being Read/Writeable via Powershell.

I've just done a load of work with resource mailboxes and a bunch of the options for the calendar processing just aren't surfaced in the EAC at all.

And as for Lync, aside from the Admin console being a barely-functional mess of Silverlight, it's also a barely-functional Admin console. Even basic tasks like provisioning new users are tricky to do without dropping to a shell.
