Blender had a reeeeaaally long way though, I remember a time where Blender was quite big already but Maya just was miles ahead in terms of usability. Nowadays they are not only even, Blender is probably used more often since it’s not only free but more people know how to use it than Maya
Dia and gimp are ok, but they’re still quite behind the curve. I love floss and wouldn’t use the closed alternatives, but we got to know where we stand.
It’s funny because apps like Blender and Krita are actually competitive to proprietary software.
And Linux/BSD are so good proprietary developers rip them off to whatever degree legally permissible.

And Firefox, git, Dia, gimp, etc…
Proprietary OS’s like Windows and macOS lack package managers too that tools like chocolatey and homebrew provide.
