Larry, if you're already familiar with such things as clicking on files, dragging them around, and playing and recording video (whicn i'm sure you are), then your learning curve to produce some edited video will probably be under half an hour. The first time i used video factory i didn't have to "figure out" anything. It was all so obvious that everything just made sense and fell into place. I had used ULead's Video Studio for a few projects and been terribly frustrated trying to understand how to do the simplest things. Video Factory got it all right.
True, there will be lots of advanced features that can take some time to figure out. After two years of digital editing i'm still usure about a lot of the real high-end stuff. But the basics are a breeze, and the rest comes easily enough after that.

don't forget the build in Show Me tutorials in VF- pictures and arrows plus explanations for most common operations.

I have to echo what Chienworks said.
My wife and I started out with VW and after our first rendering (and a visit to their forum) we switched to VF.
My wife was a little hesitant because she liked the friendly interface of VW and the VF interface seems a little more technical than she prefered, but, after 1 month I'm asking her "How did you do that?"
So far the tech support has been pretty good. Sent a request to tech suport from work on Monday, I had an answer when I got home.
I'm still waiting for my reply from VW.

I posted a response in the VW forum about the learning curve.
I think if your first expirence with VW and the storyboard method of editing, it may be a little harder to switch to Video Factory (and the timeline method).
But, if you are a brand new user to Video Factory (and video editing) it may be easier to learn because the language and format is different with VF and VW.
$.02 :)
