Blender looks and feels different from any other UI I've ever seen. That said, I would hardly categorize Maya's UI as "easy-to-use." Fairly conventional, yes, but not particularly easy. 3D art is a difficult problem, so it rather makes sense that the UIs take time to learn. Blender just takes an unusual approach, and honestly — there's nothing wrong with that. For comparison, Emacs takes a different approach to text editing than Visual Studio.
