#2Just tried it, and even with my horrible 3d design skills, I'm 100% confident I could end up with the object I had in mind in less time by using Blender.

That's because you know how to use Blender, which most people don't. But the site is not for a situation when you have a specific design in mind, instead it is for when you want to explore the space of possible designs and see suggested designs that you might not think of on your own, such as this: http://endlessforms.com/o/372201/
But I also doubt I could produce all of these shapes in Blender. I would have no idea how to do these, for example:

Must they all be bilaterally symmetrical?

No. People just tend to choose ones that are.
Here are some that are mostly bilaterally symmetrical, but with left-right asymmetry.

There are some with no symmetry at all....

Sorry. The site is getting hammered right now due to the press articles and Hacker News. We just did a bit of hacking and hopefully it will work now!

#103d shapes/polygon language -> Endless Forms
similarly by association VHDL -> Endless Circuits, etc...
