Anything is easy... Essentials use a lot of the same type of code here and there, so it's easy to learn, yes, but I learned Java in like 2 days, not professionally, but enough to do what I need... I learned something with Script in the title in about an hour... So just depends the kind of person you are.
Sorry it's taken a while for me to respond, I get so many PM's about scripting it's hard to answer them all and have a social life lol.
