If by intuitive you mean works like what you're used to, then, yeah, it's not intuitive. Intuition only gets you so far. At some point, you have to read the friendly manual. For a storage box, ZFS is pretty much the best thing since NetApp's WAFL filesystem in my opinion.
I've been using the Nexenta RCs for a while, and I haven't run into any broken/buggy packages. There are a few that are getting a little on the stale side such as Samba for an example.
