I've had my Evolver for maybe a year now - I wasn't even aware of the Evolver at all until I joined this forum, and reading so many folks raving about it obviously did the trick. Anyway, the funny thing for me is that after having it a while, I explore it less than ever, yet I use it all the time. I've settled into a basic mode of spinning the dial when I need a sound. I find something I like and tweak and twiddle it into new shape, or I find a program I don't much care for and, well, tweak and twiddle it into new shape. I guess my point is that even with the most caveman mindset I can muster, the Evolver is always a go-to synth. It helps that it's directly in front of me all the time, but really- I've got three other wonderful mono synths at hand, yet the Evolver gets first dibs. When I DO spend time digging deeper, I always have a blast. I'm no menu-diver, but I have zero issue with not-exactly-immediately-immediate front panel. I know my way around it enough to get the sounds I wish for. I think others here have spoken to a few of the mysteries, the "Why isn't it doing this/that/anything?" moments that will pop up in these early days, but I know you've already been made aware that it's a quite figure-outable creature, the Evolver. I love mine and I'm sure others on this forum are excited for you, hoping you get the same enjoyment that we do. Welcome to the cult!
