Well, as far as I read the docs, it's not supposed to be a competitor at all.

The UI is "unusual", for sure, but you can work with it quite fast if you get used to it. I used Blender 3D for a while and got quite good results out of it. I actually prefer an unusual UI, which is well-structured and thought-out, much over slow and nice-looking UIs. Sometimes even an old DOS-program can do the job ;) Philipp
