Asterisk looks super complex from a distance, simply because of how complicated the setups can be. However once you learn a few basics Asterisk actually has the nicest configuration system I have ever seen. It's downright beautiful in a weird way.
These video tutorials are actually quite helpful too.
And to be honest, most people I know say the same, Asterisk looks intimidating at first, and then it just clicks. It is an insanely popular SIP server too, and runs on far more servers than you probably realize. FreePBX or whatever the web based UI thing is, in my opinion, doing you a disservice in reality. Compared to other servers (such as Apache, or god help you, nginx) even a novice user can setup a secure, well made, and reliable SIP server.
Give it a shot, I mostly did it as a personal learning experience, and now I have a Ubiquiti phone on my desk, GrandStream Wave on my phone, and Phonerlite on my laptop.
I like having real control over everything, something Skype or a provider like Callcentric can't really provide. I am, however, using Twilio for trunking and incoming calls though, and that's because their rates are excellent and I've used them for quite a while, and they have easy to follow Asterisk tutorials too.
