Decrease numbers in you bank account to increase numbers in you Bitcoin wallet is certainly the easiest way.

Personally, https://localbitcoins.com has been the fastest and easiest way for me to buy Bitcoins (via online bank transfers).

Depending on the seller you can get coins in as little as 5–10 minutes. Most of that time was me fucking around with my online banking to add payment details.

If you don't care so much about fees then some of the deposit methods on http://blockchain.info might be comparable but I haven't used any of these.

But them and exchanges isn't the only place to buy them.  You need another option.

Easiest is to "swap" your spend-it-anywhere currency for some spend-it-someplaces bitcoins
