What makes Lightroom so maddeningly hard to learn is that it is
asynchronous. This means that when you ask it to do something, it doesn't do
it right away. It starts doing it and then comes back ready to process
another command. If you are an expert Lightroom user, this is great, because
it means you can do more than one thing at a time. But if you are learning
Lightroom, this means that you can't use the tried-and-true technique of
trying a command to see what happens and then doing an Undo if 
that wasn't what you wanted. You never know how long you have to wait to see
what has happened, because you never really know when Lightroom finishes
doing the task that you asked it to do.

In my opinion what Lightroom needs most to help bring new users onboard is a
Preferences setting that says, in essence, "I am still learning Lightroom.
Please finish each command and update the display before letting me start
another one."
