Perhaps I oversimplified my statement. The 150 is very easy to fly, it is less easy to fly well.
At the time I last flew a 172, I was still a student and I took most of my training in a 152 that, for some reason, I ALWAYS had difficulty landing. It felt like the 172 almost landed itself.
I find my buddy's 185 extremely easy to land, despite a higher workload (manual flaps, constant speed prop, high sensitivity to trim), at least, until the tailwheel hits the pavement.
Perversely, despite having had lots of difficulty making nice landings in that 152 I trained in, Juliet is a real sweetheart to land. But it still requires more work than landing a heavier (thus, more stable) airplane.
Then again, it just may be my piloting skills ...
