While I'm the worlds biggest Blender enthusiast, I hate it....why?
That cow-awful and ridiculous interface. It's much better since the great 2.5 revamp, but it still uses a billion hotkeys and a layout that defies logic.

It's a free addon that makes Blender look and work more like a real all-grown-up program. Blender purists hate it but the rest of the world can really use this thing.

Cut my teeth on 3d Studio, back in the DOS days, stuck with it as it became MAX, tried Blender several times...and found it hideous every time. Currently use Max, Nuke, Houdini and occasionally AE (if forced at gunpoint!) The link you have shared looks promising - many thanks! I have dloaded it and will take it for a spin.
