Blender is just terrible. It's poorly written, clunky and useless for any real work. Truespace also used to be a respected commercial app, that doesn't mean that it's not a complete piece of crap. Blender has had how long to become a major player? I really don't think they are well run or well led and I don't think they will ever be a major player. The fact that blender is even being discussed along side 3dsmax as far as quality of an application goes shows that most of the people here are not 3d professionals and have not spent the amount of time in any of the discussed 3d application to make educated judgments (or are complete and utter Maya fanboys). Come back and judge after you have spent at least four or five hundred hours in both Max and Maya.
Personally I am happy to think that some of my favorite Maya features might get implemented in max or vice versa. Each app has its own strengths and anyone who claims otherwise is ignorant. If anyone wants to challenge me I can bullet plenty of ways in which each app is superior or deficient.
I only read the first few pages but.. How many of you guys who are bitching have actually spent atleast 500 hours in each package? Do you know anything about what you are complaining about at all? Sounds to me like a bunch a fanboys bitching.
