The only tricky part is when you try to play with the kitchen by adding your own OEMs and stuf...and even then it's relatively straight-forward.

My first time difficulty was figuring out what to do next after I finished putting checkmarks in the different boxes. After that, there's a "PLAY" button at the very top that you click on to start the rom building process. Watch the bottom "status" bar to see the process, When it says "done", click on the RED "X" at the top to close it. After that, everything will run automatically.
A word of caution....there is a limit of 128MB that the ROM size can be. If you get error messages, try un-clicking a few items to make the ROM size smaller. AS long as the ROM to be created is under 128 MB, it will work beautifully.

I personally think you are both wrong. It took me a week of asking questions and posting to come up with the basic knowledge required to cook a rom. The terminology was what was biting me in the backside.
Things I had to learn:
What Phone do I have?
What is GSM?
What is CDMA?
Do I have the balls to proceed?
Unlocking: Oh, I just can't flash my phone with a new rom, why not? Am I going to be driving to Verizon today? OH Crap, will they take it back?

Flashing: I've read custom roms are faster, but don't have a clue how to get started, who is going to bail me out of trouble?

cooking: I've flashed With a rom, now I want to make it a little more personal, I've seen 500 posts on cooking, what is it? how do I do it? Why does everyone say its so easy when I can't even come close? (If you are in this boat PM me, I'll hook you up)
Kitchen: How do I know what I'm supposed to do now, I've read but it isn't making sense yet. Where are the screen shots? (again PM me)
Builds: What are builds, why are there so many, what do I do with this .rar file now that its on my computer? Where are the step by step instructions? (yep, I'll help you out in PM)
Then the ultimate problem.... I'm scared to screw up this $300 phone, and am terrified that I will have to pay 6-700 to replace it!
