Without milkshape i would have no way to use any of its wonderful selection of import and export options. Thats the only reason i use it. Every time i model something in it the triangles kill it. Its so SLOW I hate modelling with it now!
Blender is challenging at first, thats why theres tutorials with the guy with the raspy voice to watch! and skip most of!
Once you get the buttons down the only time you stop to slow down is when moving verts or w/e into a good position. With a plan I can lay down a complete human model in a couple of hours. Then again I have a lack of planning desease or something, so I usually take the scenic route when I model.
I think I gave up blender for a week then saw what i could get out of it and was
determined to get it right. And now its the only modelling/UV package I use. (aside from milkshape for the above reasons)
Sure the photoshop style buttons are nice and pretty, but you can only go so fast with one hand
.
When I go super fast with blender I wear some fingerless workout gloves
