My personal scale of usability:
In my opinion SteemPress difficulty of use falls around a seven(scale of 1-10). The reason for this due to the technical knowledge of WordPress use, as well as knowing how to find and use posting keys on the blockchain. Now I know this tool will be more attractive to bloggers and website owners whom should be fairly familiar with the process. However often have people design sites for them and only learn the simple methods to post and edit. During my installation and the generation of the article I did find it a relief that all the information i was typing would be posted to steem after completion.
