I am still an OpenSCAD guy, strictly because I've grown so comfortable with its simplicity, but it's been very gratifying to watch @freecad@social.freecad.org grow into a mature and robust app over the last few years. I have a pet theory that 3D apps of all kinds will be the first of the corporate apps to just rot out on the vine because every User and most studios stop using them. I think this is the case, because it is exceedingly difficult to fake your way through 3D, whether you're an animator, VFX, or an engineer, amateur or otherwise. If you're working virtual 3D things, you have done some serious woodshedding to get there, and so as much as Adobe/Autodesk have traditionally been able to leverage a lot of dev power and therefore were genuinely better, nowadays there is not really a lot you can't do with Free apps, with a bit more effort perhaps. I'll say one thing more, Blender was never the reason for any trouble Tangent Animation experienced. We are the future, if there is a technological future in the offing.
