Quote - Blender was created on the basis of speed and accuracy which is why it has never had the cheerful interface style shown by others ...

Blender started out as a Unix program, and ther were few if any GUI conventions to follow.
When it was ported to Windows and Mac, each of which has it's own fairly strong convention on how all things GUI are to be done, it's not surprising that when a program doesn't follow those conventions, people get confused and find it hard when they have to learn absolutely everything from scratch.
