FWIW, I don't find the software all that difficult to use after about a two or three day learning curve. It has a lot of bells and whistles, but it's all stuff that you're going to need to run your paysites so it has to be there.
The design stuff is beyond me but that's mostly because I gave up learning new stuff around the time CSS came out, html is as far as I go. Even so, I've figured out how to change some stuff in the templates.
