It's completely different. I'll list a few things I don't like about it. 2 separate programs for rendering, and for modeling. Modeling itself, I don't think there's a way to rotate a plane like along it's normal, there also doesn't seem to be a way to move it along its normal, same with scaling I think. I also prefer blender's way of making edge loops, way simpler than lightwave. A bunch of other things that annoy me, but I can't remember atm. I mostly just don't like the modeling, when compared to blender's.
I love the particles, they're pretty easy to use to make look decent. I also like the surface editor, it's simpler than blender imo, to an extent. Animation is easier to use than blender's imo. I like a few other things, too, that I can't remember.
