They take so damn long to put in though

Yes, but you only really need one (the one that unlocks your password manager) and you'll quickly learn to type that relatively fast.

Realtively, yes. But I myself like a 16 symbol or longer cryptic password because in the end when I have remembered it it takes less time to put in and has the same protection as a longer passphrase. (Not against brute force I am aware).
