Golly... seems like a lot of fuss over nothing much.
My friends and I all have these little HTs, and we had no
problems setting up about 100 channels using the
included programming software.
For the UV-5R someone maintains a web site with exact instructions on
which software to use, which drivers to use and an English version of
the manual written with the help the people of the Yahoo group.
10 minutes of research would have given you all you needed to know.
I guess it just went easier for us. We maintain a 17 site
repeater system, so we had LOTS of channels to program
for all the various link frequencies. It seemed pretty easy
using Quansheng, Wouxon, and Baofeng radios.
Our only hitch was you cannot share programming files between
brands, and there was no copy-paste function (at least at the time
we did it) that would allow us to clone one list for one brand to
another. But other than having to type the list again, no issues
or hold ups here.
There is a program called CHIRP which does exactly that. It allows you
to program radios and save the data in a form it can be loaded into a
completely different radio. The program is open source and supported by
donations, including radios.
