Time for me to let loose with one of my pet objections.
Nothing personal, Walt - I know that it's accepted usage.

But having "a steep learning curve" would actually be a good thing.

What people actually mean, when they say this, is that the program in
question has a high bar to get over before you can use it proficiently.

With a steep learning curve, you'd leasrn enough to get over that bar
in a short span of time.  With a shallow learning curve, though, you
would have to spend far more time before you became proficient.
That, in my opinion, would be a far less desirable situation.
