I have used Wings and haven't used Blender, so obviously I'm biased. Wings is easy to learn and very powerful. Navigation is extremely nifty. You can select something and type 'A' or Shift-A to have it centered. The scroll wheel zooms in and out just as it does in Blender. Rotating and panning is a bit strange, but you get used to it. By the way, 'you get used to it' is a phrase you will here a lot when it comes to the Blender interface. :biggrin:

Anyway, I've started with Wings and am having a go now at learning Blender for all the other stuff that Blender does, such as UV mapping etc. Just for the modeling, I'm very happy with Wings and and don't need anything else. The only thing I'm missing is a true symmetric editing mode. You have to cut your model in half and use a virtual mirror that shows what the full model will look like. Again, that's fine for modeling, but bound to be problematic for things like morph targets.
