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 ...
