macfuse is easy to use and install. the only tricky part is there are two things to download. macfuse, and an ntfs fuse plug for it. but both are easy to install.
I use
this fuse which is free if you don't want the "premium support".
The only issue I have with these is they attempt to mount my boot camp volume, which was originally made to boot with boot camp, which has been converted to parallels. parallels hides it, and the fuse grumbles when I restart because it can't mount it. Other than that it works beautiful.
