Well I can't say if they're easier as I've no comparison. :-)
They don't seem to uproot my small plants.

I've bought some Lilaeopsis brasiliensis (4-7cm tall Micro Sword) recently
and the mollies seem to leave them rooted.

Like most fish if the Mollies are kept well fed on flake they'll not eat hair algae.
I let a brood of Molly fry feed on the hair algae for a week now and again.
