Wow Tom, you're so kind man.

ZBrush and XSI interface looks good.

Thank you for your feedback!
I updated / added some links and alternatives.

I find Blender's quite interesting.
Judging without touching is quite difficult though. I just know a few of them.
3dsmax's... disorganized.

[j_man]

most customizable--which is why I chose C4D.

hmmm, I don't think that's true...

Silo's interface (and Modo i think) can be modified in any way you could think!

http://www.silo3d.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4165 (looks like 3dsMax)

Here's how I run Max (sometimes). note, the material editor is only open when I'm editing materials!

Modo seems the best by far...

[Maximus3D]

Well Adam, you're ofcourse correct and i agree with you on that. A fully customizable UI is the optimal solution but it needs to be based on something that people like alot and feel familiar and comfy with that won't get in the way of their workflow too much. So if you pick the best most juicy parts from each of these apps UI's and then blend that into one UI that people like then you should in theory have a winner (knock on wood).
