By my definition, that is a bivy in name only. It is really a small single person tent IMO.

I realize that it isn't for everyone, but... I have not found dressing and undressing all that big of a deal in a bivy. I also have not found managing condensation to be much trouble with my down bag maybe due in part to the fact that it has a DWR coating. The minimal moisture that collects is usually only under the sleeping pad and on the outside of the bag down by my feet. I just shake the bag off in the morning.
