It is complex in the sense that it does a lot, but I think it's pretty easy to catch on to after you get the basics down. It's great that the developers are available right here on MR.
One of the best things about it is that there are more complicated operations possible with it, but you don't need to use them for it to be useful. You can use as little or as much as you need to.
Hang around the Calibre forum a little, read the stickies, and you can get a pretty good idea of what it's all about. If you decide to try it out, you can do so without touching your existing files because when you add books to Calibre it copies them into it's library file structure and leaves the originals alone, so you can play with it with a few files and see if you like it before you rely on it for anything else.
