Though everyone is entitled to their opinion Mal I couldn't disagree with you more here,

1 Open the software,
2 audition a number of styles.
3 Type in a number of chords
4 Generate and play.
How simple is that.

Of course you can add more realtracks or realdrums, loops etc and maybe make it as complicated as you want it to be.

And maybe when you go really deep into the program things can get a bit complicated.

A newbie who has a little basic understanding of music theory such as chords etc, would be up and running with Band in a Box within ten minutes in my opinion.
