Don't let people in Cognitive Engineering hear you say that.  :)

Many people in that field think that "complex stuff is hard to learn"
is a total cop-out.  They're not saying that complex systems don't
require learning.  They're saying that anything that can be made
intuitive should be, and anything that can't be should be designed in
a consistent, orthogonal way so that you have to learn minimal things
and that they quickly BECOME intuitive.
