I like Blender's {Combustion's, Jahshaka's} interface. It's pleasant to look at and hides a huge amount of functionality in a very small space. I like numbers as well... they give you actual information rather than an arbitrary relative placement on a slider or an arbitrary 1 through 1o. Knobs are just a pain in general}
I like the "outline view" settings in Max as well. {Or emacs's "customize" view... Stuff you use a lot is on top... other stuff is easy to get to. Short definitions and examples are right there for you as you navigate through stuff and you have easy access to several different searches and help formats}
