No. Many people use it to design simple quilts, or applique quilts, or paper-pieced quilts. Many people use it to help them figure out how much yardage they need. Or to print out templates. Or paper-piecing patterns. Or to check color placement. Or to re-size blocks. There are SO MANY things you can do with this program!

Well, that's a difficult question to answer. First of all, what constitutes "extremely complicated"? Many people found it simple to learn, and just as many people found it difficult. There are many threads here about this. I'm one of the users that found it quite easy to learn. EQ does have tutorials built into the program. There are also online classes, free tutorials here on the QB, and EQ has excellent help forums. I didn't work my way through any of the tutorials; I simply played around with the program. If there was something I wanted to do but didn't know how, I looked it up in the manual.
