As a crocheter, what did you find difficult about knitting?

So, like many before me, I started with crochet and I am very very happy with it. But sometimes when i look at stuff I want to make, it turns out it is a knitting pattern not a crochet pattern and I get sad. I am considering learning to knit, but honestly it looks really difficult. But then I think, crochet looked difficult too but turned out to be the most relaxing thing you could ever do. So now I am like, should I try knitting? Is it worth it? I do love making wearables the most, and I have heard that knit ones look better but honestly I like the look of crocheted garments more, so that is not really a big concern. I also saw that knitting tends to use less yarn? Which is cool too, but I want to know what is difficult mainly about the learning process when you are trying to knit, as opposed to crochet. Does it involve more counting stitches? Is it not easy to go back if you made a mistake? Is there a more difficult learning curve? How long would you say it took you to 'get the hang of it'? Does it usually take more time to go from absolute beginner to say, advanced beginner?

Also, the thing I love about crochet most is that I can zone out doing it, is that possible in knit?
