That was the elusive and rarely seen in the wild albino variant.

Yep. It was bad looking and the smell was probably awful.
But it was also the smell of prosperity. Just a little bittersweet when you look at my little town today.

Definitely depends on the complexity of the layout. I have DCS but I only have a few simple loops. It works fine.
I have to agree with Marty. I think the more turnouts, sidings, etc the more trouble you may have with signal strength. I imagine the average home layouts aren’t sizable enough that DCS bugs can’t be worked out.
For the most part, I also agree with Marty. However, I think each layout presents its own set of unique signal reception / transmission problems based on track arrangement. That's why the approach to solving these problems consists of gathering a large number of potential "fixes" (a book of spells) and trying them one-by-one (trial and error) until something works. It could be any number of things affecting the DCS signal, including track geometry. Contrast that with TMCC where the vast majority of signal issues are ground-plane related. You (typically) don't need an oscilloscope or sophisticated test equipment to figure that out.
