It seems a-love-it-or-hate it thing. I have tried to use Blender several 
times before and once spent a week going through the tutorials. After that I 
was able to model simple things but still found the interface painful and 
frustrating (and sometimes downright infuriating). I ended up buying a 
commercial application because even in the demo mode and without reading 
tutorials I was able to do moderately complex stuff and obtain nice renders 
in a matter of minutes, not days.

Now lots of people are proficient with Blender and love it, and it's 
obviously a very comprehensive piece of software, but I guess that some of 
us prefer software with a gentler learning curve.
