Simplicity: Blender is a complex application that allows 3D rendering. It would not be usable to the layman, as you can see it is overloaded with options and is overwhelming to look at. (see below)

Consistency: The flow of a layout and consistency of an application is crucial to the likelihood that a user would want to utilize an application again. If an application looks like a developer slopped something together, it sends several negative signals to a user. Like there are other areas that are overlooked by the developer. Also that the developer care little about the application, so why should the user? (see below) Usability: If an interface is not usable or looks like the developer has never ran any testing a user will be lost as fast as it took them to open the application. (see below)

Readability: If a user is unable to read or decipher where they are to proceed or do, you will use the user immediately. (see below)
