Tangnetial: And Perhaps RDE can elaborate...

I Find I-M to be NOT user-friendly to beginners. I've heard that RMF
expected it to be read by talmidei chachamim.

For an average rabbi [like myself] the only way I feel comfortable with
I-M is when I'm holding in the sugya or it's a very straightforward
T'shuva. Otherwise RMF presumes the reader has a lot of yedios and lamdus.

Or to put it another way, if you want to go from being a good poseiqi to
a great poseiq [like from master's to Phd] it's a very valuable sefer.
But aisi it's largely over the head of the beginner. [Like from bachelor's
to masters]
