Is that like learning to smoke? You hate it first. It tastes terrible, you cough and gag and get a headache. But if you keep with it, eventually you'll like it?
Personally I don't think it says much for a Desktop Environment if I have to "learn" to like it.

You have to learn to use it - if you don't like it you have the choice of modifying it or using something else.
Majority of linux people like to tweak, tinker, modify and learn. If you want a desktop for dummies it will only be for people who don't care what the underlying OS is.
