If there were a better way to learn guitar, everyone would jump on it. Software doesn't have to be so difficult and tedious to use, as has been demonstrated by a decade of u/x in the UI space. Nowadays, nobody would ever consider gordian knot for their video editing, and I don't blame them. This idea that one must suffer to learn is as outmoded as alchemy. You don't need to take the good with the bad; learn from the bad and make more of it good. I lived though the old times, and they sucked! Nowadays, if the developer doesn't give any thought to u/x, people won't give any thought to his creation, and rightly so. The days of cryptic incantations and tedious rituals are largely over. |

This type of assertion is made in a lot of contexts, but I don't believe it holds true. I believe that there are a subset of people who are willing to learn a new skill. Of those people, there are very few who are willing to learn a new skill but won't because of some perceived barrier to learning it. The vast majority of that subset will learn the new skill despite the perceived barrier.
Of the people who aren't in the set of people who are willing to learn a new skill, there will be very few people who will be movitated to learn the new skill because the perceived barrier to learning it has changed in some way.
