Bleder UI is great.

So, are we having flamewars again about the Blender UI ? Knock on wood
if it doesn't happen.

Anyway, before people start bitching about it, please download the manual here(Vol 1)
and go through the tutorial of creating your first animation.

Once you get to know how things works, its logical, and a breeze to use.
Sort of learning the power of vi or emacs, it's right there, you just
don't see it at first, and you have to learn a few basics to get started

It is *NOT* logical. It doesn't even have an internal logic that sort of makes sense if you forget everything you know about other programs (see Lightwave). The improvements that have been made are still a long way away from making Blender usable for anything but people that are new to 3d. The actual UI has improved dramatically, so much so that at least visually it's my absolute favorite of any package I've used (and I've used a lot). It's the way that the UI is layed out, and the way the things within the UI function, that keeps Blender down.
