When you first try it, middle mouse wont pan, left click wont select right click wont give menu etc, which probably turns most people off, but no worries you can go into the preferences and easily turn that back to normal. All you then have to think about is its the same as normal blender but all icons are revamped and extra icons added in. It’s great! And dont forget to reactivate all your addons.
I changed the interface font to something more sci-fi and played with the interface scale and font size and used their default theme. I figure i could download a custom theme one that matches C4D or other 3D software and then when people who use those other softwares see Blender looking like that they will be taken aback and say " is that really Blender" and it might entice them to switch over.
It’s because they designed/customized it like that to be more intuitive to a new user rather than them having to learn all the hotkeys, they think it is better for an artist and more user friendly the way they have set the controls. Its probably a better experience for totally new users.
And the icons all have color and meaning, so for an artistic person everything is more intuitive and you remember what icons do what, rather than them all looking the same and merging into one mass of grey uninspiring meaningless symbols.
More intuitive for users is left click select at least those that come up from not only other 3D application, but most games etc. Currently even Blender 3.0 have left click so i find it strange that something called BA do not.
The GUI that you posted is very attractive.
In short, the main differences between Bforartists and Blender are:
An own keymap, which is reduced to just the necessary hotkeys and a navigation that can be purely done by mouse.
Cleaned up User Interface. Lots of unnecessary double, triple or even more identical menu entries removed.
Extended User Interface. Many tools that were formerly hotkey only have a menu entry now.
Rearranged User Interface. Some things are better accessible now, some are not so much in the way anymore.
Improved defaults.
Colored and as double as much icons than Blender.
A configurable toolbar with icon buttons.
A tool shelf with the old tools too, in tabs.
Tabs in the toolshelf.
Improved layouts.
Left aligned checkboxes and text where possible.
Better tooltips.
Better readable standard theme.
Some neat add-ons to improve usability, like the reset 3D View add-on or the Set Dimensions add-on with which you can scale in world coordinates in edit mode.
And lots more small details like not so much confirm dialogs.
