Yup, it surely does have a steep learning curve and is one of the  
reasons  it manages to continually infuriate as well as delight me.

Another reason I like it, I have surmised, is that really I'm a  
frustrated programmer the demands of whose job means I don't really  
do any programming anymore, and hacking a TeX command is the next  
best thing.
