"Someone the other day in chat was complaining about the complexity of the system (something I see as a strength) and how difficult it is. Yes, it is difficult, there is the advantage because if it was easy, anybody can do it and if that is the case, there is very little value available."
Bingo, I think that keeps a lot of the riff-raff out.
A lot of people are afraid of trying things because they are afraid they will fail, other people are afraid of trying things because they are afraid they will succeed.
