I've been using Blender since 1.7, thats along time ago, LONG before maya. (In responce to Blender copying maya, not true)
The interface is quite easy, the new one is actually alot more congested, don't really like it myself. The old one was very simple, once you learned what the main buttons were. (E.G. read one tutorial and your set) oh, and yes, this release is a preview release, and more bugs are being fixed. With luck, they will repair the start menu, and scale things so those wishing to use the old style interface (like me) can. its just so much faster. I could create some pretty amazing stuff in a matter of minutes, it takes longer with the new interface. more buttons to press to get to where you want to be.
Great program, and rapidly catching up to some industry level programs. I can't wait to see what the future holds for this program.
