What's great about Blender, is that if you learn the UI, controls and hotkeys for the purposes of 3D, you can basically use the same UI, controls and hotkeys for video editing, and vice-versa of course :)

People overplay how unfriendly it is nowadays too, very far from how it was a decade ago, when it was really hard to understand how the UI and UX worked.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I love it at tinker with it regularly. But power comes with complexity. It's always a trade off.

It's been ages since I last tried Blender, is it still unusable without a numpad?

No, I use Blender a lot and don't even know what they have mapped to the numpad.

I think I use Numpad 0 daily for "Change viewport view to camera view", but surely it can be rebound like most other shortcuts, don't think there is a requirement to have a Numpad, afaik.
