Don't worry, buddy, Blender has the learning curve of a brick wall.
Wings 3D is what I use. It's easier in my opinion and quite intuitive.

What about it makes it easier (not flaming but im jsut wondering.. if its easier i might switch to it)

Blender has a whole lot of features that are pretty advanced and only useful in obscure situations. Blender also has a lot of hotkeys to remember, and that's no fun.
Wings uses a simple menu that's accessed by right-clicking the 3d space. It's basic operations such as rotate, scale, extrude, inset, bevel and other self explanatory functions. Although Wings has a couple hotkeys, there's not nearly as much to remember. S (smooth) and C (connecting vertices) are the only ones I need to remember.
I use Wings for basic modeling. Seeing as Wings doesn't have a good built in renderer, I export to .obj and import into Blender to add fancy stuff such as reflectivity and transparency.
It's all a matter of practice, too. It's just that Wings allows you to practice faster, in a sense.
