When you frame it like that, the question then becomes "do you actually need the fighter jet?" and "why are all these people suggesting I use a fighter jet?"
That's pushing the analogy past where it breaks and missing the point. Take someone who has only ever written C-like code. Hand them a Scheme, maybe Racket. You expect them to initially have difficulty regardless of the quality of documentation. It's a different way of thinking about and doing things and there's a lot of it to deal with.
