[support] How techy must one be to use CCK?

Hi there. Ok, the subject line may sound a little ... overdoing, or what one should say, but let me explain: As i understand it, CCK is a very powerful and flexible module/set of modules. As i understand it, you can create your own content types with your own fields and/or use the provided field modules of which there seem to be a whole lot. What i want to know is if it's possible for a non-programmer like me to use CCK with any success. Another reason why i ask this question is that i'm helping a friend to set up a web site and it's possible she will also want to use CCK and she, just like me is a non-programmer. As always, thankful for any answers. /Krister
