Blender isn´t really harder to use than any other comparable software. Sorry but i have another opinion here. Problem starts with comparing it. It has a fixed hotkey UI. And that is basically it. This is awful. There is no other software out there with just a Hotkey UI. For good reason. Not everybody is made to work that way. I am one of them and have finally also given it up to wait for the since years promised UI improvements. What happens is that with every release the whole stuff becomes even more cluttered. Blender is hard to learn and hard to use. This is my very own opinion and experience. Based on years of tries and battles with the hotkey UI of Blender. I would've given up 3D when Blender would be the only choice. Good news is of course that Blender is powerful once you can master it. But that is the problem ...

the problem is approach. use the blender tutorials! noob to pro! they don't teach you how to model, they teach you how to use blender, and they'll get you there in no time whatsoever (i found myself very comfortable with the layout and window system in minutes).
easy to learn and use. this is my very own opinion and experience.

Err. I know very well how to model, texture, render and animate. I do that long enough. But even with that knowledge and years of 3D experience i am in heavy trouble to find my way into Blender. Does that sound easy? Hey, it is absolutely possible to have no pain at the evening from pressing the hotkeys. There is also no need to look into the manual for every little poop. Buttons have tooltips. Try that with hotkeys. And wow, you can even customize hotkeys and complete UI's in other software. How cool is that Blender UI is love or hate. This software is not made for everybody. It has a very steep learning curve. It is the opposite of intuitive. Nearly not customizable. Hard to learn and hard to use
