You have two reasonable options:
a) Use SAGE. (see my reviews)
b) Use Mathematica if you don't mind the cost. It may be as ugly as sin but at least it works.

Anyway, I prefer SAGE. It's a relative newcomer, but it's extremely good and free! It's development has been extraordinary. Amongst it's benefits are that it uses a web browser for the interface (and it even typesets better than Maple), it allows easy collaborative use, it comes as a nice compiled package that you just drag and drop (no installer) and it incorporates Python, so you can actually program properly in it. You can even use stereoscopic glasses to view 3D plots in 3D!

Ease of use is improved too even for the occasional user, and the extreme formal math strength (compared to e.g. Mathematica) is now indeed paired with really good interfaces (UI, instant and extensive help system, importing, exporting etc.) plus it flies on an intel ;-)
last point: a very reactive and helpful dedicated newsgroup: comp.soft-sys.math.maple

All the best for Maple however, and patiently waiting :-)
