Information
[A[たら/ば]A[た]で is used in situations where contrary to what one normally would expect from A, B is the case]
[For example, one might expect B to be a hassle, but in reality, it is not as bad as originally perceived]
[Conversely, one might expect B to be exciting but, in reality, is boring or difficult]
[Frequently used as a response to someone's statement, often to express contrast with が, けど, and so on]
[In B, expressions like なとか、困る、大変、かまわない、and ものだ are common]
[Sometimes you can encounter (の)なら used with verbs and adjectives instead of たら/ば, but it is more common in other - A(の)なら/ばAでB patterns where one expresses that in situation A, B is appropriate, often in a patronizing way]
