Powerful but hard to work with it!

I'm annoyed about user interface and menus, I hope that in future the customization will allows you to make deep personalization. But when you need to do something really creative you absolutely need this software.

PROS

You can do really anything! I'm not joking, you ca do all you can imagine and maybe more. We edited videos, make simulations, modeling, textured, and more.

CONS

Menus are terrible. Working is really hard! You have to search on internet the way to operate, if you don't find some tutorials you'll lose your time, you can never find the right way to do a thing!

Best of all time

Amazing. I have no complaibts that haven't been addressed I the 10 years I have used this priceless software. Although it's primary focus is 3D I have found numerous uses for it beyond that. Anything from a full compositer/NLE editor to a scientific calculator.

PROS

I love the speed and customizability that Blender offers. The price of "free forever" is unbeatable. The use cases are endless. And the community is extremely active and supportive.

CONS

I don't have much to complain about, but it is hard to keep up to date with the amount of updates. You to have to dig in deeper or ask for help if you start getting into preference version control.
