Good lad, the actual mechanism of attaching the pouches to the belt is a bit awkward, but it's the pouch tabs that make it. They're impossible to open accidentally, but when you need to open them, it's easier (especially in gloves), faster and quieter than both velcro and plastic clips, it's unironically the best system I've ever seen for magazine retention.
Just be wary, there are some aftermarket pouches for sale on eBay and stuff that aren't actual surplus labelled as "PLCE", yet they use the regular MOLLE plastic clips, avoid those, they're shit quality and completely remove the benefits of using PLCE in the first place.
The yoke is nice, but not really necessary, I never use mine, just tightening the belt provides enough security to keep it firmly in place most of the time, the belt can loosen a bit after a few hours of use though, just you just need to pull it tight again.
