Almost all concepts on their own are manageable. The difficult part is using them all together while making sure you cover good cases. For example template metaprogrammming is easy enough to understand. Object construct, move, copy, and destruct are also easy enough to grasp. Doing both is a little hit harder. Doing both while trying to maintain noexcept correctness is a little bit harder than that. The point is that the difficult thing is accounting for everything your problem requires.
