3DS MAX - Did the Devil finally get into software creation?

Well this is just a quickie... just downloaded the trial for 3DS MAX so that I can get a head start on learning it over the Easter holidays, thus removing some of the pressure of learning it when we come back after.. and I have to say I have not seen a more complicated program on first view before, sooooo many buttons, all of which do scary things, even though I can't tell what they have actually done. It's going to take some learning but then hey, what am I here for right?
