Even with dfhack and dwarf therapist it's still a clusterfuck. Not that those can't be fun. We do play ss13 after all.
I think most people get turned away at the game setup, the embark, the graphics, then the menus. Make it passed those and you'll be fine.
Game setup is simplified with this. The starter pack has some embark profiles you can enable, so you can largely bypass the embark screen until you get bored of profiles. The graphics I can't help you with; just choose a tileset you like, or go with ASCII like a real dorf. The menus you get used to, but I'd suggest using dwarf therapist (included in the starter pack) for sanity.
Finally, the wiki is great so use it. If you get completely lost, there's a few youtubers who have fairly up-to-date tutorials. This one seems to touch on most of the basics and isn't 12 hours long. You think I'm joking about the 12 hours? :laughtrack:

edit; Oh ya, normally I'd LOVE to play, but my laptop is on it's last leg. Doesn't help that I have to use 2012 drivers for everything. Thanks Lenovo.
