blender gets downloaded several million times a year
It was for a long time the only free 3D alternative. Sure it gets downloaded a lot. And how much stays and works with it then? And how much erases the file quickly ?
Hmm, i use Blender as a converter for some special needs. But i am no Blender "User" ...
of course many people will give up quickly and complain about it loudly.
I tried again and again since several years. I have wasted weeks and months to battle with the UI. Is that quickly?
i can't imagine that you will like blender 2.5. smile you have totally different idea about what a gui should be like. maybe because you are spoilt by truespace. smile
Maybe you will be surprised
Well, unbelievable but true, i use more software than trueSpace. I use in fact lots of software. Everybody who makes games does. I am spoiled by the software that does the job. And i am more or less comfortable with them all. Except one. Current Blender UI is the only UI that i really heavily dislike
