Awesome teachersTeachers have been getting a right kicking recently and it's not fair. So, let's hear it for the teachers who've inspired you, made you laugh, or helped you to make massive explosions in the chemistry lab. (Thanks to Godwin's Lawyer for the suggestion)

Then again...The people within the last radius get vaporised, the thousands of people in the surrounding areas still suffer long agonising deaths through shock damage from the blast, injuries from flying debris or collapsing buildings and even years later will be suffering the effects of radiation poisoning.
So sure, if you are right under the bomb it is painless...
Also note the size of the blast - how much of that is your (military) target, and how much of that is innocent collateral damage?
Compare to the medieval weaponry, where you only got hit if you were directly in the way, and while it may sometimes be a painful death, how many years of fighting did it take to kill as many people as one of the weapons dropped on Japan in WWII?
