I still use RDS. I actually THOUGHT I'd ordered Carrara, but a, uh, clerical error at home, shall we say, meant that the call was never made. (If you need something done, do it yourself.) So, I'm still with RDS, and may or may not order Carrara sometime soon. I may decide to wait for version 2.0 to see if bones are included; if so, I'll jump. If not, well, there's always bone-bender for RDS. As for the interface, I think it's just a matter of getting used to whatever you're using. I made the jump from Infini-D to RDS without much trouble, and I figure I'll be able to go to C the same. (I'm even somewhat conversant in Lightwave, but its logic is a bit different from Infini-D, RDS, C.) If you have any RDS specific questions, post away. Many of the folks in this forum started in RDS, and lots of what you do in Carrara is conceptually identical to RDS. (I actually started in RD3D which is a powerful program, though missing LOTS of the bells and whistles present in RDS. Making the jump from RD3D to Carrara, well, no wonder you'd never go back.)
