I'm just learning to use Blender myself, and nearly all the tutorials I
read start with "It was so hard to get used to, but once I did, it was
much easier to use." I guess that makes Blender the "Dvorak" of
modeling/rendering programs.

It wasn't free initially. There was a recent effort to buy the
copyright back from investors, in order for the original author to be
able to license it under the GPL. The result was the "Blender
Foundation", which is probably still trying to pay the bill today. But
it's kind of encouraging to see people working so hard to make sure
freedom and quality don't have to be mutually exclusive :)
