It's not difficult at all. It DOES have a learning curve for doing the really fancy stuff, but it's not too hard to pick up and get into. It's actually a lot easier now than it used to be, because the achievements in-game are actually mostly a tutorial.
Personally, I'd say it's absolutely worthwhile. I would recommend picking up a copy, ONLY playing offline long enough to understand the basics about how to play (how to start collecting things, how to make things, how to build things), and not actually build anything fancy.
THEN, come online and play with others and have that be where you start working to build cool stuff.. Because if you build fancy things offline, it'll make it harder to convince yourself to migrate to online, but offline is really the best place to learn the way the game works.
