In the UK you don't have to file at if your income is under £100,000 (assuming you are employed by a company that does PAYE (pay as you earn) - i.e. tax is deducted automatically from your payslip - and you don't have any other sources of income which is probably 99% of people) - after 100k you have to file electronically (although someone can do this on your behalf - I don't think postal filing is possible any more).

For what it is worth, the UK online filing is actually pretty good these days. Modern UI, and the process is tailored via a few "wizard" type questions initially so you are only shown the bits you need to fill. It can get a bit confusing at times though just due to the tax laws themselves and the terminology etc, but the system for filing itself is pretty good.

Thanks to onyone on here (and I bet you are on here!) who is working on the gov.uk stuff - it is generally pretty good.

The one thing missing is automatically calculating your tapered pension allowance after rolling over unused, based on your previous tax years - that's why I get an accountant to file mine.
