Meh, GIMP gets the same sort of unfair comments. If you had used PI and never used PS, you'd think PS's interface was unintuitive. Human nature making you think that because you'd never used it before. It's just that most people have used PS first, so they think it's the standard by which all others must comply.
Granted, PS excels in the documentation, but it's user-base is so much massively more than PI, there are heaps more resources. And they have more dough/resources.
Give PI a chance, and you'll be rewarded as you would learning any other powerful software purpose-written for it's intended use.
One caveat is Win32 systems are no longer supported. They do work, but there are memory issues, particularly with integration. There are workarounds, but it's time you jumped into 64 bit anyway. Even MS isn't supporting 32 bit much more.
