    Neat list!

    Blender and resolve are terrific. Gimp is a bit of a running joke for veterans in the industry - the UX is a comical mess.

    Personally steer well clear of Maxon and Canva. Maxon on account of the rubbish pricing, piss poor UX/UI, and invasive telemetry. Canva for AI stance, telemetry, and their having the option to monetize should they ever feel like it after having locked in a large enough user base. Which absolutely will happen over a long enough period given predatory, for profit SaaS trends.

    Penpot is an alright Canva substitute for the time being, least for my needs which are reasonably complex. Haven’t had much luck finding a good foss alternative to after effects though.
