Depending upon your needs, you might very well find MS pretty 
frustrating...MetaStock's main advantage (now that TS is basically 
given away) is that its language is fairly easy to program. In so 
doing, however, it sacrifices ALOT of power. Some things (like 
defining swings) can't be done very well, if at all.

Since you already know EasyLanguage, its hard to understand why you'd 
want to switch. At any rate, to answer your question, the learning 
curve shouldn't be difficult at all.

Another alternative is WaveWi$e. Its main advantage (other than price 
$79/year) is the power of its language. Its still not TS, but its 
much more powerful than MS & alot easier to program than TS. The 
downside to WaveWi$e is that tech support is abysmal (& that's being 
charitable). That's particularly a problem since there's no manual 
for the program (it has a fairly extensive help system built into the 
program, however.) It uses a spreadsheet metaphor so the language is 
pretty easy to program, once you figure it out. Overall, its a pretty 
good alternative
