There's probably a lot to be improved about Blender's UI still, but I actually find it quite nice, and I'm not even that practiced with it. I'm a professional VFX artist, and the one thing that seems to be true for all the tools I use is, the less visual UI, the better. It's all about keyboard shortcuts and muscle memory. IMO Blender has the right idea there: ditch the toolbars etc. as much as possible and let the user focus on productivity. Intuitive isn't always productive, sometimes you have to learn a workflow. It's one of those steep-learning-curve-big-payoff things.
