I think the author point was that a lot of 3D programs doesn't give usability enough attention as they should.
I totally agree with the ZBrush thing. It is a wonderful tool but the UI and usability in general could be better. I remember It took me a while to understand what are tools and scenes. Even now I'm not so sure I fully understand Zbrush scenes. One of the biggest reasons why we love Softimage and not so much Max, or Maya, or Blender. Even if you can have the same final result, 9 out of 10 you could do it faster and easier in Softimage, and not because Softimage technology is infinitely superior. Jordy Bares' Blender link is a little related to this, how much Blender sucks in usability from a Blender user POV. I've only watched part 1 but it is interesting so far. Selecting with right click. Yeah, I'm one of those who couldn't figure it out from start, and when I did, I decided to quit.
