Having both M6's & Hasselblads, and having loaded thousands of rolls in both, they're both very easy. I've loaded my M6 in complete darkness and it was easy. I've loaded a Hasselblad back behind my back with equal ease. In reality, the Hasselblad is much easier than the M6 since there is absolutely no possibility of the film not going through the back, where it is possible (albeit slight) for the film to not be aligned with the sprockets and/or slip out of the spool and not go through the M6.
Most of my film loading nowadays is in SL66 backs and 4x5 Grafmatics. Both also dirt simple to load.

I have always found the M6 system to be the fastest and best loading system of any camera I have used, and Hasselblad magazines the worst.

Interesting that you find Hasselblad backs terrible to load--me too. Though I have found the Rollei 35 the worst. It may be a good camera to some, butthe film loading!!
