How easy is it to learn?

Excellent, fast, has almost all necessary features
Review by 
Stefan Stefanov . I've been using Wordfast since 2006 – switched to Wordfast Pro when it came out. It's very easy to work with. It takes 7 (seven) seconds to launch and 5–6 seconds more if I need to switch to a different project. Add up to 10 seconds more to load the file. All of this on a ten-year-old computer. Creating a new project from scratch takes me about 25 seconds if I have to create a new TM or about 12 seconds if not. Can't possibly beat this with Trados or MemoQ.
The only thing I am missing is the functionality to translate PHP array files.

GARBAGE
Review by 
Gld8 . This software is terribly slow.

One can spend hours waiting for the software to work overall (opening, going from one segment to the next, leveraging content from TMs). I get interrupted every two-three minutes. And it has become worse and worse.

I paid way too much money for this software. And it is just NOT worth it.

Easy to use and reliable
Review by 
Fusae Seki . I have been using WF Pro3 for many years. I have tried others, like Trados and WF5, but come back to this. It is very easy to use and reliable. When I have a question, I write to WF people they respond quickly. I have some trouble in the past for formatting but it was solved now. They updates it pretty well. I am satisfied with this tool.
