Agreed, it's by far the most functional free tool out there.

However, if you're _already_ familiar with some other big 3D modeling
and animation package, you might really want a book on hand. I did
some work several years ago with PowerAnimator (the precursor to
Maya), and the Blender interface is so radically different that I was
pretty much in a constant state of confusion every time I tried to use
it.
If you're coming in with no preconceived notions of how these tools
are supposed to work, it may be a lot easier to get comfortable.
