At the moment - and due to the nature of the current Cocoon release - this is the case (unless anyone corrects me). You see Cocoon is a framework - so after installing it you really do not have "anything". You still need to build whatever application you require. And Cocoon provides a great deal that will help you do that. What is currently missing is addtional documentation and practices that make the application building part easier (when do I use which component or concept to do what). But again, that can depend on your specific scenario. So, as Andrew wrote, I think the learning curve is quite steep - but there _are_ people out there who can help flatten the curve - and the journey up the hill is worth making. And things will start to become easier as the technology is adopted, documentation is written and applications are built.
