This statement seems to me to be both wrong and also a little 
contradictory. It's power is hardly limited, since it's been shown to 
be turing complete. As far as being hard to use, that seems to be a 
matter of debate, as though there are some people who "get it" and some 
who don't ;-)

If it's power is limited, and it's hard to use, why is it widely used? 
Can something be limited, hard to use, but useful?
