Any mechanic who says he's never done that either hasn't replaced a lot of chains, or is a liar.
I did it once a long time ago... has become one of those measure twice cut once tasks that I do see a lot of people doing when they first learn to thread a chain.
I like the old open cage designs on Suntour rear derailleurs... it was one of those great design ideas that set them apart although offered a few models with a cage that could be opened manually for chain removal.
