Love2d was the first 'real' game engine I ever played around with. I made a bunch of silly little games with it. My only real problem is not really to do with love2d but lua itself. Debugging lua is a pain. There was one debugging addon I remember finding for love2d that was sort of hacky and didn't work that well. Otherwise, honestly it's a great little engine and like you say, if you're pretty new to programming and want to try making games for fun, lua and love2d is a great way to go.
