It's a powerful tool and it takes time and effort to learn. I was in the same boat as you when I started, but after ~3 years of using Blender more or less daily I find the UI very intuitive and powerful.

One of the nice things about having a very active community is that there's always new tutorials being made, often at the beginner level, on the very latest versions.

Not a single thing about it is intuitive if its UI changes every month.
Sounds like blender might not be for you. Personally I'm super happy with the new UI they revamped a year or so ago in 2.8 (which has barely changed since then). Plus there are tons of great YT videos at all skill levels for inspiration and help. Geometry nodes has been incredible for procedural modeling and I love the direction they're going with it!
They constantly make small changes to the UI to improve it. These are good-faith changes aimed at making things clearer, easier to use, and more consistent overall.

Since I use blender a lot I can absorb these changes easily. If you're not using it very often it might be harder. However, I'd contest the idea that the "UI changes every month" since there are usually only two or three releases a year.
