I would be interested in other opinions.

My feeling is that lexical binding comes - while the principle is not
hard to understand - with a larger space of non-trivial implications and
stuff that you can do, or techniques to learn, all things that are work
to understand for the human brain that can only grasp one aspect at a
time.  Like knowing how to build a wardrobe is not the same as
knowing what a hammer, nails, a saw and wood is.
