If a project looks amazingly cool but incredibly difficult to you, you have two real choices:
1) Roll up your sleeves, get your hands dirty (and your forehead bloody from beating it against the wall) and figure it out.
2) Convince yourself that it isn't really that cool and you can wait for someone else to do it for you. This response might include encouraging others to work towards making the project easier for you, but in the end, it just means you busy yourself with other stuff.

If you look at my signature, you'll see that it has both responses in it, so you can see that I can go either way.

There is a third response, but it isn't a very useful or valid one. You can blame everyone else that the project is too hard, you can complain that everyone involved in the first kind of response are elitists and unfriendly, and you can act all bitter that there's such a great distance between the desirability of the goal and your current ability to achieve that goal. That's not a very productive way to live your life.
