Blender for Hackers – 3D modeling is just like using VIM
Blender is to 3D modeling what Gimp is to image editing what Darktable is to photo editing. Painful. My biggest grip with blender is the non-standard custom GUI that they just refuse to update. I know Blender predates toolkits such as GTK/Qt but seriously, they've had plenty of time to "fix this".Bonus: Try to draw a line in GIMP (without first going to google). Have fun! (;
