I don't think DCS is any more or less complicated than DCC, just different.
Same goes for TMCC/Legacy. It's a matter of getting used to the terms and
controllers.
And like everything else, you wind up using mostly only a couple of the
features of all the ones available.
All I really use consistantly when using TMCC, DCS or DCC is loco select,
forward, backwards, speed control, lights on/off, whistle/horn and bell(if
sound equipped.) If I need to use something else, I look it up as needed.
When all else fails, I throw my block toggles to the other position and run my
straight DC stuff.
