Bforartists was a lifesaver for beginners back when Blender had horrible UI.
These days default Blender's UI has been improved immensely, but BFA is still great, even though slightly less necessary.
One of the down sides for beginners is most of the tutorials are for regular Blender, but it's close enough.
I don't agree that an application has improved and made its UI and handling more consistent is more beginnerfriendly, it has nothing to do with being made for beginners, it has all the same features and functions as Blender, but much better and rational integrated in the UI, thus make the handling more confortable, but you must also know what you are doing. If you don't know how to work with Blender, you don't know how to work with Bforartists either. You can talk about 'beginnerfriendly' of the second app I put up, MakeHuman, this really is made for people with 5 thumbs on each hand, or maybe the online editor SculptGL, where even kids won't have big problems.
