@Braiam To use? No not really, I used it for a couple years before learning Lua. To really customize it though you'll have to get your feet dirty. Changing up some default bindings and adding some window rules can be done just by imitating some lines of code, but if you really want to do something fancy understanding basic Lua is pretty much a given.
The good news is Lua is about the simplest (sane) language I've ever worked with.
Awesome is certainly a lot more fun once you wrap your head around the fact that the config is just code binding straight into the window manager's API.
