Esperanto is great if you're a native speaker of Indo-European languages,

carries a lot of baggage that inhibits native speakers of languages like
Swahili, Japanese, and Chinese.
everything i've heard makes me think that esperanto is very popular in both
china and japan. there doesn't seem to be much baggage inhibiting them.
i found esperanto to be very easy. i find lojban to be very hard to learn,
especially the vocabulary. my opinion is still that all language groups will
find lojban equally DIFFICULT to learn.
