I poured days and weeks into learning it, made constant progress, enjoyed my time, and made some cool stuff. I was using it at a fairly basic level, and I don't have much experience with other 3D programs (little bits of 3ds max and gmax), and when I was learning it, I had a bunch of spare time and no financial incentive. Maybe those things are why I think of learning and using Blender as a positive experience, rather than a negative one. Then again, I tend to be the one to say that I like interfaces that most others hate. Maybe this is just another example.
