Project is no more difficult that other project management tools.

Once you understand the key concepts learning to use Project for simple projects is straightforward.

Learning to use it for complex projects is inevitably more time consuming.

If you are familiar with other project management tools it is far easier to learn as most of the concepts (for example, Gantt charts, task lists and dependencies) won’t be new.

Similarly advanced Excel users often find the new concepts easy to pick up given the similarities.

You are right that newer project management tools that are easier to use and cheaper but only for smaller projects. MS Project is in a class of it’s own for very large, complex projects with it ability to manage dependencies, critical paths and the other project health.

It is also part of the Microsoft ecosystem making it the tool of choice for project managers in large corporations.
