Looking at apartments that would require a transfer L to 5 at Union Square to get from bk to UES. Does having to transfer for your everyday commute end up feeling like a burden, or is it pretty common?

Each transfer increases the opportunity for problems and delays. If you work on UES you should live near a green line in BK or in Astoria/LIC.
Or perhaps the F, N, R, or W in Astoria or Long Island City.
There's debates on this, but I'm assuming the BX is not an option for 90% who post here. In addition o have found the BK commute going uptown on 456 is FAR more tolerable than BX commute going down in the morning.
I used to take 4 train from Crown Heights. Rarely any fights or arguments everyone got off downtown. Smooth ride.
Going Downtown on the 4 from BX consistently drama rude savages fights and arguments.

Over 20 years riding subway.
Lived in a two fare zone ( minimum 1 hour ride ) for years.
It was a drag during holidays,bad weather,subway repairs.
The ride could run as long as 2 hours but that's the price if
you want to live in New York City. You get used to it quickly
and if you get to meet and make friends.
1: do the whole thing on the m101 bus, which is always overcrowded and awful
or
2: do half of it on the m116 bus which is usually much less crowded and late and the other half on the B/C train
I just get on whichever bus gets there first. So sometimes I do a transfer, sometimes not. The time ends up about the same on average
