Modules are "advanced" in the sense that the the feature is powerful, forward-looking, well-designed, etc.. It's marketing-speak, if you will (forgive me, Jeff). *Creation and Use* of modules is simple, and in many ways easier than using Puppet without modules. And starting with modules from the beginning will mean that you don't have to convert code to modules later. Pretty much all your manifest code should be in modules, with the exception of site.pp and node declarations.
