I've been using Blender for a while now, and I actually miss its UI features in other apps now. I would agree that it's very unconventional and immediately baffling to new users, but not that it's "objectively god awful".

I think the most direct analogy possible is vim. "objectively god awful" is one way to describe the learning curve, even if they're immensely useful and efficient.
Then again you could say the same of keyboards in general…
Vim is pretty easy to learn, you just have to be willing to read tutorials and guides. Most complex subjects are learned that way, after all.

Vim isn't as obtuse as it's made out to be. You can learn Vim pretty easily, enough to match the usability of other editors, pretty quickly. Past that, you can learn the actual powerful commands, where it actually shines.
