I am really sick & tired about this useless crying about Blender GUI. I have a feeling that this writings coming from people who never seriously used 3D applications - or people who are afraid that will 3D Blender become more popular that their "favorite" 3D application, heh, what will most likely to happen anyway. It's true that is Blender not as simple as Photoshop, Corel Draw, Swift 3D or similar applications where you can show finished "artwork" to your mom after first few hours of playing with it. Indeed, Blender is complex and powerful, but if you want to make a movie or 3D game in first afternoon then better try to find something more simple and please don't write GUI "reviews" around.
On the other hand I don't understand people who using 3D applications like Maya, XSI, C4D, Max, etc for years and then come here and complaining about Blender GUI?! Is that really all what you can say about it?! Nothing about Inverse Kinematics, NLA, Nodes, Sculpt Tool, Game Engine, OpenEXR, Render Passes, Particles, Softbodies, Python, etc?! C'mon guys, I understand that you paid a lot for a GUI of your "favorite" 3D application, but please leave new users to decide on their own if it's worth to pay so much for your "better" GUI. 3D Blender is free of charge and that's why it's also priceless. This amazing application was lucky enough to run away from greedy hands of capitalists which can now only contest who will give better award to 3D Blender. Mac was first. Thank you! Also thanks to Google for sponsoring amazing Fluid physics implementation and other funky stuff which can now enjoy all 3D lovers around the globe! New Blender 2.43 is out and that's not all! We can again expect many new tools in the next release, and yes, they didn't forget about GUI improvements too!
Ton Roosendaal & your team, thank you for this state of the art software which I could only dream before...
