learning curve
Which of the big tuners (LS1Edit/HPTuners,etc.) is easiest to learn? Especially for someone who has never tuned anything before. I expect the best one for learners to be the one most people have since the most support will be available.

I don't think it's about the tool per se. They all have reasonable
user interfaces and you just have to become familiar with the
style of their organization, where they put what. Some have
more features and are safer than others. LS1-Edit has had a
bad habit of trashing PCMs (and is locked to the one it just
trashed, so sorry, send money). Fixed yet? HPTuners has a
no-mung write and I believe EFILive-Flashscan claims the
same, I haven't used theirs but have flashed my PCM I think
30+ times without issue, with HPTuners. Obsessive? Who?
The PCM, the engine control params, what does what and
who's hiding in the bushes, that's where it gets interesting.
And that's where you want the user base and the inside
support, to learn from. Check the various products' web
forums and get a sense of that.
