I've traveled to India twice on e-visas.  Once I found a good place to do the process, it was fairly straight forward.

The instructions you find in various places to do this process are massively contradictory and confusing.

Given how much noise there was around the Thailand visa stuff, we'll want to get the conflicting information streamlined if we're considering India.
