I'm also a beginner, after 1 year here. I agree, Cocoon is a complex tool, with a very steep learning curve that has given me some difficulty, partly because of having to build from source. But I see Cocoon as a work in progress, and at the most as a framework rather than a finished product so this has actually given me a bit of a better insight into what is going on in my system. I've also been able to give it a visual style IDE, and a fairly good set of debug tools by mounting a Cocoon webapp folder in a NetBeans project. It seems to be seemless. There are things happening over in OpenOffice.org that seem to have the potential to give NetBeans and therefore any mounted Cocoon project, a WYSIWIG XML document editor too if you really want that.
