Our family joke about the rotaries is "Look kids, Parliament, Big Ben again" (from Nat'l Lampoon's European Vacation). Depending on the amount of lanes and the amount of merges and egress (?) make them easy or difficult. NJ has those jug-handles (a quick scoot to the right and a loop back to the stoplight to go straight across-instead of a left turn lane). CT has the abundance of stop signs on secondary roads or timed stop lights on primary and state routes. Invariably the direction I am heading in is always the long wait for the light to change. but all things considered, the inconvenience of rotaries, roundabouts, stop signs and lights are by far preferred over the 3 or 4 lane highways with 65 mph limits and traffic crawls at 5mph that we all travel through at some point during our treks.
