Have you tried it after 2.7? I'm not familiar with 3d modeling, but I heard a lot of people praising the UI changes for that release

Yes. 2.8 was the big UI change which made it a lot more familiar to folks used to the "mainstream" 3D suites/apps.

Yup, it was actually after 2.8 which changed UI a lot as I read (don't know how it was before 2.8)

Very much its own UI that didn't follow (the admittedly somewhat loose) established conventions. Right-clicking to select and other weird stuff. I got used to it but it really required a lot of playing around to begin to associate the user-model with my prior experience in 3D software-land.

I remember thinking at the time that, had I had no prior experience to build on, I probably would have given up on it.
