The interface and navigation has really improved over the years of developmentand now it looks really professional and giving some of the massively overpriced 3D apps a run for their money after all you can't beat 'free'

I got 2.57 and I really hate it, and I've gone back to using 2.48The new version slows me down by about a factor of two and makes the whole experience no fun. Some things work a lot better (booleans are fast, for instance), but half of everything doesn't work at all. The indirect lighting is buggered. The new menus are stupid and confusing. Things have been moved around for no reason and are harder to get at, whereas it's very easy with a mere flick of the wrist to create a dozen new panels that you didn't want. (I don't even know if panels are the right thing to call them. The interface is full of new concepts that I haven't seen in any other program, which would be alright if they were any good, but they aren't.) I hope they fix everything they broke soon.
