Blender is astounding at how much it can do, but boy does it feel like a project that suffered major scope creep. There seems to be years worth of "but what if it could also do this?" attached to it. As a novice Blender user I still find the UI incredibly difficult to work with.

I'm hundreds of hours in and I still sometimes accidentally hit the wrong hotkey and spend 39 minutes figuring out why edit mode doesn't edit anymore, or why I can't weight paint in weight mode.

Feature discovery has become more organic and less "unfuck blender" though, so that's nice.

The grass is uh, slightly less brown on the other side I guess?

Phenomenal program though.
