I started with Pro/E and later picked up Creo, Solidworks, and Inventor (among others). Creo's interface is significantly better than Pro/E in terms of being intuitive and easy to use.

I personally find the way it sets out features and handles relations to be a lot more intuitive than Solidworks or Inventor. I find it lacking in terms of resources compared to Inventor, but significantly better in that regard compared to Solidworks. PTC also models the field and KOP natively in Creo, so you don't have any conversion stuff going on there.

What specifically are you curious about comparing them?

To be honest, if you already are set up for Inventor or Solidworks, it probably isn't worth switching away. They all provide essentially the same feature set.
