   Also, they are heavy into engineering. And bundle 3dsmax with those tools. And sells others separate etc. And in heavy engineering firms "standards" are set, and hard to move away from.. But it's often used in combination (at least for me).
   I work in the oil industry and use inventor, 3dsmax every single day for the last 19 years.. But I squeeze in blender where I can, and use it for all personal projects.

     @c0de517e Maya has, like, a ton of custom tooling built upon it over millions of years, right? That's quite a moat.

     Autodesk does not seem to be reacting much to the Blender phenomenon? Now, ofc I have no data about this, but it seems that Blender keeps growing - the moment it will be a clear danger for Maya it will be too late for Maya to steer. They probably need to do something radical now.
