I have found PWP to be fairly easy to learn.  Easier than PS.  And I can't 
say enough about their user forum.  You can usually get a question answered 
by the program's author within a few hours.

I do think the interface is not always as polished as I would like.   It 
looks like some enhancements have been "tacked on" over the years.  But 
they work.  It's a "form follows function" interface to be sure.   However, 
there is commonality across most functions' interfaces, so once you figure 
out the flow, it carries across to most everything.
