i disagree with this.
consider tuxpaint vs. gimp.
there are general concepts in all these things that don't change.
and especially learning to nativate a 3d environment through a 2d
display is not easy for everyone, but once you understand it, it should
not matter wich program you use then.
and how can you know if i ever have the need for the complex stuff.
i am not a professional designer, i just want to experiment a bit with
3d geometry, build shapes, rotate them and see how they appear from
various sides.
would you use blender in school to teach 3rdgraders the geometry of a
cone? sure, my shapes will be more complex that that, but not that much
more complex...

but you need to learn a lot more just to get started.
