I have not yet tried Gosu myself; but just out of curiosity,
what sorts of things did you find hard to do with it?

hmm. Beyond the tutorial? more than fiddling with the tutorial? Couldn't do much. Maybe I'm missing something.

OK. I guess I'm unclear now on whether you found specific
capabilities lacking or missing in Gosu? E.g. you have a
particular kind of game in mind, and Gosu didn't seem to
provide the functionality needed to implement your idea?

Might i enquire as to what genre of game you had in mind?
I've written several and may be able to help.

BTW, there are some small games on this page, written in
Gosu, that come with source code:
