Blender''s interface is a bit challenging at first, but once you get used to it, its very fast.

Dont give up on it so quick. Visit www.blender.org and download the 2.0 manual and go through the first few chapters.

If all else fails, try Wings (www.wings3d.com), it has polygonal modeling tools than Blender, but as of right that''s all it has. No support for animation, sequence editing etc.

Yeah, tell me about it! Thankfully i am getting a new comp friday the 29th. It''s custom, gonna be great. And once i get that, it''ll be a lot less frusturating to use these apps, since i wont have to wait for the cursor to keep up with my hand!
