>because you people never looked into other 3D software
Anon, I started out with C4D and Maya. Blender has proven its self to be useful for a variety of things in many sectors, and the reason why it is so popular is because the competition just isn't delivering as it should be in a lot of areas due to a lack of continuity and understanding between developers as well as executive meddling. The 3D industry as a whole has become extremely stagnant and every software is just playing catch up with another back and forth. Too many of the things you claim just aren't being espoused or materialized outside of this site. The idea that Blender has nothing useful or that it hasn't improved just plainly isn't true. I would have agreed maybe a few years ago, but not now.

Quite honestly I'm mostly just venting my frustration here about Autodesk not improving the properties they acquired. People are moving away from their stuff for a good reason. Houdini, Cinema 4D, Embergen, Gaea, Substance, zBrush, sure those are still nice. Hell even Lightwave 3D somehow returned (though it has to contend with Unreal Engine and Blender now, and is way behind on features). But you're seeing those tools incorporated more and more with Blender rather than what Autodesk has to offer. Too many things feel like they're either regressing, side grading, or just remaining in a state of paralysis because people always want something else out of the software.

Blender has a very good reason to exist and a market segment to fill, and if nothing else serves as a gateway for many people to get into 3D in one way or another. The large amount of resources it has as well definitely helps to bolster the learning experience.
