I held off on getting the Authoring Kit for several years, actually. I bought it a couple weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised at how intuitive and versatile it it. The advice on the wiki is really spot-on: you need to know understand xml and have a knowledge of coding basics.
The scripting engine is simple (i.e., elegant) in that it lacks a lot of the more complex data types and statements and such you'll find in a language like LUA, but that turns out to be a feature, not a bug. It has a laser-like focus on doing RPG character generation "stuff." If you take the time to read through the wiki, and review the sample files (and SW stuff), it's pretty easy to follow.
