Oh it's free so it lacks features
Exactly! And every proprietary software is by definition perfect cause it is subject to the forces of the open market. Subway eat fresh and freeze, scumbag!
Oh fuck it's Home Depot presents: The Police™
every move you make
Can't wait to live in Snow Crash
If you don't count professional software, nowadays it's actually the opposite. Very often in proprietary software there are features removed with no alternative provided by developers, or there's one but actually it has nothing to do with what you actually want.
And sometimes the one feature you need requires the Enterprise version with a $4799 yearly subscription.
Sometimes they actually have too many
It’s a jack of all trades for sure, but it also has features paid software doesn’t, like its 2d animation system with Grease Pencil. There are also paid extensions on BlenderMarket and the like that make it more competitive with more specialized features in other software. Extensions are GPL licensed, so I’m happy to pay for them as opposed to the rest of the toxic CG ecosystem where everything is subscription-only.
Edit:
I wish all paid software were GPL. It’s nice buying something and being able to look at and change the code, write code that calls their code, or even snag a bit of it for to use in your own thing.
