The community often does a horrible job of viewing things through the
eyes of a new user. This is why mysql became so popular for a while.
Comments like "just learn it" are unproductive and push new users away.
And we wonder why we're having trouble attracting new developers...
This has actually been discussed recently on -hackers as well[1], and
there is some general consensus that simplification in this area would
be a good idea.
