I would not characterize them as easy. They're full of multiple frames and objects, need multiple event handlers or end up with a giant 1000-line if/else chain in the event handler, and require using many unrelated API functions from many categories. An easy "learning to write an addon" project would be auto-selling grays, or announcing your interrupts to party chat, or something that only requires one frame and mostly sticks to one category of API functions.
