I disagree. The most user friendly thing about Pixologic's Z-brush is that if you hold control before a tool-tip appears you get a MASSIVE and EXTREMELY HELPFUL tooltip (sometimes with images). It makes learning the software easier and faster. Saves you having to dig through the help file for instructions about the tool/menu item.
