Not sure why you're getting so many downvotes.

3D authoring software/tools is a funny business. Fundamentally developers aren't the primary users so they can't fully evaluate the effectiveness of their software. However unlike other domains like a web browser there aren't enough users for developers to get proper feedback about things like UI and workflow.

For the same reason that every year is supposedly the "year of linux on the desktop" you'll never see Blender/Gimp/etc unseat Max/Maya/Photoshop.

Every post in this thread that is explaining why Blenders' UI is bad is being downvoted.

That's because there are some people who strongly disagree that it's simply "bad". If it was as simple as "Blender's UI is bad", then there wouldn't be so many people who absolutely love it ;)

Those strongly disagreeing people could post some strong arguments for where the UI is better then Max/Maya.
