jq is certainly a unique language, which makes it unfamiliar to work with. Intuitiveness and natural feeling comes when one has gotten familiar with it after a bit of practice and reading the manual, though. It's a very well thought-out language. A very nice design.
It might help to recognize how it's influenced by shell languages and XPath, if you're familiar with those.
