Did I mention how much I despise installing and getting front deraillieurs to work?
The one I put on my bike today was a pain and a half. Sure, it bolted on quickly, and got the cable ran through. Then came the getting it to shift part of the ordeal. It took me almost a frikken hour to get it to work properly.

This was literally the first front deraillieur I installed in about a year.

Walk in the park. Try E-types. Satan himself forges all E-types deep in the bowels of hell and sends them forth to torment bike mechanics.

I hate middle deraileurs. Especially when setting up a 3 ring. I understand it...it just doesn't comply with how I think it should work....
simple fix for me is to buy grip shift
