Is MediaWiki really "so hard to use"?

My simple answer is: no!  :-)

Points to consider:

• MediaWiki gets a new WYSIWYG editor by summer 2012. [1]

• BBC REPORT: Jimmy Wales says Wikipedia too complicated for many. [2]

• The panel ‘Wikipedia and the Place of Resistance’ at WikiWars DAY 2 in Bangalore introduced some fascinating arguments about why people either leave Wikipedia (a perspective from US Internet Analyst, William Buetler) or why they’re not interested in Wikipedia (Yi-Ping Tsou about why Taiwan does not like Wikipedia). [3]

• I've started creating a simplified help page for my students working on Wikipedia. [4]
