This, to me is a complaint similar to gearboxes in cars.
Holden, Ford, Audi, Volvo, Mercedes, Isuzu vehicles all have different gear 
stick movements -- no one complains, they just learn to drive the vehicle.
I'm beginning to think that inability or rather not really wanting to learn is 
the key to this discussion.
The developers could make Blender so similar that the complaint would be " well 
there's no difference -- so why use it "

To solve this easily we need a simple note on startup:
  "BLENDER IS NOT Autocad, max, maya, etc. It Has New, Revolutionary, 
Distinctive Methods of Manipulating Objects which once learned will increase 
your abiltiies.
Please take the time to learn this modern system"

They will or they won't, either way the complaints stop.
In short Advertise the differences, Put the differences into the consciousness 
of the newbie.
