If there's artificial intelligence, there's bound to be some artificial stupidity.

WHy are Jet fighter sims more popular here than prop sims?

I've played the demo of IL-2 and was quite impressed. Part of the problem with prop sims is that the physics of a prop aircraft are signficantly more complex than a jet. Jet sims don't need to worry about prop wash, torque, and other prop complexities, they all pretty much just model the jet engine as a magic "thrust=throttle position" device, totally ignoring real life issues like engine surge/stalls and whatnot.
IL-2 is hard to master indeed. Fighter Ace from jaleco (on-line prop sim) allows you to start of with easy physics and, if you want, you can go more and more realistic.

I mean the ENGINE stalling in a jet, of course the aircraft can stall regardless of the propulsion (although often if the aircraft stalls the abnormal airflow into the intakes can precipitate an engine stall on older engines.)
