Completing the neon plug-in took about one day I'd say, so 8 hours. You need some knowledge of Python.
Writing a GIMP Python plug-in is harder than just working with Python imho. Because you also need to know some things about the GIMP api. Unfortunately the GIMP python documentation is kind of old and bare bones. Also, debugging in GIMP can be difficult, because when it crashes there usually is no clear error message and using pdb.gimp_message('test123') is itself kinda buggy. So I usually test things like string maniputlation, image calculations etc just in Python IDLE first, when it works then test it in GIMP.

This said, independent testing of the complex bits beforehand is always a good idea.
