The UI is a PITA in Blender, but once you get the hang of it, you can
work faster and the cheat sheets you can find are useful. My major
grievance with Blender is why they don't make the save shortcut
automatically save rather than showing a popup confirmation dialog under
your mouse - we have lost hours of work because of that stupid idea and
they still can't understand why people are frustrated by it. The
Blender UI design philosophy is cited somewhere in their website and
it's basically "learn if or go somewhere else" which tends to be applied
when you make a suggestion like "CTRL+S should save, not prompt".

aaah Blender.. *shudders* It completely frustrated the hell out of me, in
terms
of UI and user experience.
but still once you know it.. I guess.. people do make cool things with it
and it is free.

Now I'd really like to get my hands on Lightwave or 3DS Max.
Blender is free and almost as good and in some areas equal (and in a few
areas, better than those tools).
Lynda.com has some really great Blender tutorials which will get you
over the Blender interface (which is not intuitive)
