I started out learning with a pick; and also had some difficulty with the right hand at first. However, with plenty of practice it got to the point that it's the left hand that can't keep up. The more you pick and strum, the more natural it feels.
Granted, I now almost never play with a pick. I always use my fingers, unless I'm going to do some acoustic strumming. I just love the freedom of having all my fingers available for picking. Tried hybrid picking, but didn't like it -- the hand just doesn't have that same freedom.
