You can get LED fluorescent replacements that just go in without the need to remove the ballasts.

This is true, and it is easy upfront, but eventually those ballasts will fail. It's so easy to cut the ballast out of the system and remove the failure point that I think it makes much more sense to go with the ballast-less LEDs.
