Yep, same here. I remember years ago playing around with the student version of 3DS Max, was able to create and animate quite complex scenes for my school presentations in minutes, everything was very intuitive and stable. Trying to use Blender feels like I'm wrestling with the interface most of the time, while not being entirely sure what's going on the rest of the time.

Got to admit overall it looks better and better. Wish they took some time to redesign the interface properly, not just 'improve' it. The current one is still mostly looks and feels like 2.x

I hate most open-source UIs (see GIMP and Audacity), but Blender's is a breath of fresh air so far. I was pleasantly surprised.

I took a class in Maya and found its UI to be a shitshow of redundancy and unintuitiveness. Didn't explore 3DS Max though.

If you have specific objections to the Blender UI, by all means share.
