I'll add another vote for FarCry. IMHO, the biggest part of the learning curve with FarCry is coming to terms with the unique and sometimes non-standard "vocabulary" that Daemon came up with when they created it. Once you start figuring out all of the naming conventions, it's like making the jump to warp speed - kind of like learning a new programming language.
From there, for me, it's been smooth sailing. I've tried working with Contribute briefly, but didn't find it particularly useful.
