Well, there are two things still quite wrong with MidCOM:

1) Site builder -level documentation is not very good (developer docs  
are)
2) Powerful features like custom datamanager schemas and output  
templates don't have UIs

Part 1) is slowly getting better as more people get comfortable with  
the documentation wiki. Especially Arttu has been helping quite a bit  
lately.

There is some progress in part 2) as well. Tarjei's Aegir2 is being  
built around the idea of MidCOM being the default way of creating  
sites with Midgard, and includes a style editor that will (or does?)  
load the default templates of components as base for users to make  
their customizations from.

Also, Osku has been doing some work on a schema editor, but is  
unfortunately now too swamped with work to make a running version. I  
hope we'll be able to push that forward, though.

I'll try to consolidate the tutorials we already have to
