I will admit it's pretty subjective. I will also be the first to admit Blender takes a lot of getting used to. But as someone who has used both Maya and Blender extensively, I can confidently say I much prefer Blender for most modeling tasks, retopology, etc. It also has some very wonderful UV unwrapping tools. If you haven't used Blender recently, you might want to take another look at it. It is a radically different tool than it was two years ago.
