@manos_de_papel I’ve done a bit of that, but it’s difficult once you find a way that’s objectively faster/less keystrokes to get something done. Not all proprietary software’s got it figured out either, I just wish I had option to configure things how I want with the open source tools.
Not to mention, people looking for alternatives may not be as patient as I am. I think the value of UX cannot be understated when it comes to creative tools
@Bro666 i appreciate your reply! I’ll link you to my response to a different post here outlining a bit more of my experience. tl;dr, I’ve used multiple programs in personal and academic settings. Some FOSS options are great and comparable! Some miss the mark, even if they get close. It’s not for lack of trying, it’s that out of the multiple programs I’ve learned over the years, the FOSS options tend to be the odd ones out.

Even blender is guity of this with its default control scheme being the odd one out among Maya, Unity, and Substance, but it can be modified enough to make up for this and has other attractive aspects to make it a worthy contender. Digital tools tend to be used in an ecosystem that they are integrated with. Learning new workflows if fine, but there’s value in being able to do what’s already being done well in a similar way without much fuss.
