Supreme commander 1 and forged alliance easier?

Is it just me or does Supreme commander 1 and forged alliance feel smoother and easier to get into then 2? Maybe it just because 2 is meant more for console, but I feel 1 and forged alliance feel better to get into then 2. Given i haven't tried skirmish yet, but I really like the economy system in these games and how you can connect your buildings. It's really cool and feels rewarding once you get a stronger economy. Maybe my adhd brain just prefers more complex stuff lol.
