Haven't you given up on a piece of soft wear that is just too esoteric and complicated? I know there is statistical analysis soft wear that I gave up on, I did find something else to take it's place, but probably would have benefited from using the harder to lean one.

I don't really give up on software. I am kind of a computer/software hobbyist and I like to figure that kind of thing out. I do however see where you are coming from. When the interface is too unfamiliar, adoption of new technology is hampered. It's like the new interface of windows 8. Too unfamiliar, thus people don't want it.
