+There is no point in pretending that Ardour is a simple, easy to use
+program. The development group has worked hard to try to make simple
+things reasonably easy, common tasks quick, and hard and/or uncommon 
+things possible. There is no doubt that we have more to do in this 
+area, as well as polishing the user interface to improve its 
+intuitiveness and work flow characteristics. 
+</p>
+<p>
+At the same time, multi-track, multi-channel, non-linear, 
+non-destructive audio editing is a far from simple process. Doing it 
+right requires not only a good ear, but a solid appreciation of
+basic audio concepts and a robust mental model/metaphor of what you
+are doing. Ardour is not a simple "audio recorder" - you can
+certainly use it to record stereo (or even mono) material in a
+single track, but the program has been designed around much richer
+capabilities than this.
+</p>
+<p>
+Some people complain that Ardour is not "intuitive" to use &mdash; its
+lead developer has 
+<a href="https://community.ardour.org/node/3322">some thoughts on that</a>.
