Zbrush UI might be bad out of the box but the Blender one is just as bad at least in the sculpt mode. Plus you can just make custom menus so Zbrush is a lot more useable that way. If you want to sculpt on more than a million polygons without chugging your PC and crashing to shit you're probably going to want to just sculpt in Zbrush.

If you are just starting out blender is fine but not learn with a better tool from the beginning? You are just self sabotaging at this point

Blender chugs after 10 million polygons or so. It can handle more but thats if you have a giga build with 32+ GB ram, and lag is killer while sculpting. Zbrush can easily handle 50+ mil without a hitch.

Zbrush's indisputable advantage is performance, like other anon said when you move into double digit million polys blender chugs to a halt but Zbrush will still render silky far beyond that.

So if you wanna sculpting super detailed stuff with skin wrinkles and pores and shit like that you need Z-brush, but If you're cool with handling that level of detail with textures Blender will serve you well.

If I where advising my younger self I'd say stick to blender till you're a highly proficient sculptor and if you wanna move beyond that pick up Z-brush.

Working on tiny details before you can capture the large forms well isn't that beneficial anyways.

You should use 3dcoat or hexagox for sculpting

Only reason I can think of is extremely small skin details. But even then you would be better off painting them in your 3D texture painter of choice since it's much faster and non-destructive that way. Blender can handle all the rest of your secondary detail sculpting just fine, despite the memes from Autodesk third-worlder jeets with poor PC specs that might say otherwise.

Blender can’t even correctly process the polygons and ruins the original shape. SHUT UP about such nonsense when it’s Blender’s development team to refuse any hotfix on a simple bug.

because it will force you to learn proper sculpting workflow and techniques. so many blender sculpting tutorials just focus on remeshing or dynamic topology.
multiple subdivision levels, projecting details, masking, hiding parts of mesh, and polygroups/facesets are extremely important if you want to make high quality sculpts.
blender allows you to avoid these parts because of its modeling toolkit and other features.
when you use zbrush and follow a zbrush course/tutorial you will learn the ideal way of sculpting thats used by thousands of professionals daily.
once you learn that workflow you could move onto blender if you felt like it. But having that foundation is pretty good imo

Zbrush is specially build around sculpting, so it uses a 2.5D engine. This means you can have more polygon/performance. It has more features around sculpting as it is porpose build for it.

However if you are fine with what Blender offers, its sculpting tools are okay. The biggest benefit is that they are integrated, and you don't need import/export or learn another program.

Somehow Zbrush has employed some programming black magic to run loads of polygons on fucking toasters.

Also called manipulating inside a 2D viewport that translates into 3D in the background instead of rendering every vertex in 3D in realtime like the average engine

Fun fact, Mudbox can handly more polys on a single mesh on my machine and I don't have to keep my visible polycount of the mesh to around a million or less for all the sculpting tools to behave properly.
Topological(surface) masking works properly, VDM stokes (not stamping) work properly, and undo's aren't a slog if I have over 40m polys visible.
It's not all sunshine and rainbows though, as layers are locked to their respective levels and changing division levels is far slower than ZB, those are all the core drawbacks I can think of off the top of my head.
A shame that it's abandoned because if they upgraded their brush system and modernised their material system I'd use it in tandem.

Why does very few people consider 3D Coat? I don't even care about paid software because I pirate anyways, what bothers me is Linux support, I hate using Windows.

Autodesk is trying to be as evil as adobe but they just can't compete. They should have bought 3dcoat, memory holed it and THEN abandoned Mudbox. I swear, evil is hardly even worth the name these days.
