That's more or less been my experience with every professional-quality tool I've ever used. If you use it regularly, you will eventually memorize everything. If you are a casual user who dabbles once a year, you're going to have to do a lot of googling or bookmark your reference material.

The Blender UI fails a number of very basic usability requirements.

I take the point that it's powerful once you learn the keyboard shortcuts, but it really shouldn't be either/or, especially for beginners.

My issue with it is that the API is so unwieldy. I'm very interested in creating fun things with code, and it's actually easier to do that in some of the pro packages than in Blender.
