It's super easy to get confused with all the different styles. I always have to look up how to cite things in different formats!

It wasn't hard, per se, but it was definitely tedious. At least for me! Like I said, some people seemed to like it! If you like breaking things down into steps and don't mind the dryness of it, it can be a pretty good experience, I think. And technical writers are in pretty high demand, so there's that!

But yeah, I have a hard time keeping all those battles straight in my head.

Yeah, for the most part English is MLA. I've done a lot with both styles, having taken both psych and English courses, but I definitely think MLA is way easier. No cover pages!! Yay!!!

Also, online citation things are awesome.
