As somebody who has made a living writing WordPress code for a few years I strongly disagree. I know how to get things done with it, but I know that the way of doing things is clumsy. Once you want to do something that's not totally common you have to interact with opaque core code that's a horrid mess and never returns useful error codes for example. Yes, it's not hard to make trivial stuff, but it's nearly impossible (and certainly a waste of time) to do complex things.
