It's harder to learn than most, yes, but once you get used to it, you can be very fast with it, because your hands don't have to be moving back and forth to the mouse all the time.

It's so feature-rich that you can use it for years and still be learning new things about what it can do. But you don't need to know a whole huge amount just to get started.
