Hi, the trick with blender is: the more you know it, the more it fits you, like Vim or Emacs, there is some arch learning curve at the beginning (unlike Maya) but it definitely worth it. I follow blender since my youth, and I think this is the best OpenSource as an example I can give to anyone, along with Linux. There is for sure things to be more "unified" etc... but it's improving always and always, the blender way. I like it being different than others if not what's the point about having multiple 3D software ? I think two levels of interface could be done with current system, one very easy for people to get familiar with (mostly icon & menu based) and one "full" version (the current one) with less boilerplate on screen.... what do you think about it ?
