Results 1 - 10 of about 504,000,000 for software is
hard with Safesearch on. (0.14 seconds)

Thats half a billion Google hits for software is hard.
So what can you do?

Especially when working with closed API's that don't
support what you want to do. But thats going off-topic
here so I won't carry on further.
But I could. 

Reflection itself isn't that bad. Very powerful and
about impossible to secure around if allowed, but not
really all that bad to work with and usually my
preferred way to handle cross-platform. Isolating the
platform specific to their own classes to limit how
much you have to do is not a bad idea though.
