I have been a computer tutor for kids, elderly and secondary school student for 
what I can observed is even the use of mouse, how to click, how to double click
will cause the elderly "learner" a lot of time, on the other hand, for those you can
young (i.e. the kids, school studemnts) can learn this thing very fast.

What's make the thing important is, "learning" may not be really a scene that, someone
else teachs, but someone can learn the feature by just accidentally enable a features.
As long as you the UI and the program is not broken, the additional features usually 
won't fool others.

Everybody learn by themself. So learning is eventually inevitable.

I am very agreed on that, use can evolve to become capable to use more and more 
features as long as the program provides. I think, the curiosity and ability to self learning
will make anyone learn some good thing in a very natural way.
