Yep, I agree - Blender is a great tool and not wanting to take away anything from it.

But I found this horn-tooting about Blender and saying that its superior to every 3D software out there is a stretch if not flatout wrong.

Ever used Houdini? Yeah, it's not totally free but it's free for non-commercial use. It will blow your mind what it can do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIcUW9QFMLE

The Houdini UI is nothing short of absolute genius.

I don't see Blender ever competing with Houdini. Like...ever. Because, it is fundamentally a different take on 3D content. It does the same thing at the end (3D content), but the way it does it is different (procedural). Better IMHO, but I could be biased.

Does that mean Blender has no place in the sofware ecosystem? No. Can we me a bit more pragmatic, stop horn-tooting and objectively look at the 3D software landscape as a whole? Yes.

Houdini is nice peace of 3D software they are going for a lot of years now leading to 90s good that they added some affordable licensing for indie artists recent years but again for starter 3d artist Blender is best choice after that its up to the person what direction he/she will choose.
