Comparison With Other 3D Software
A 2007 article claimed that Blender's interface was not up to industry standards, but was nevertheless suited to fast workflow and was sometimes more intuitive. Poor documentation was also criticized.
Blender is a dominant open-source product with a range of features comparable to mid- to high-range commercial, proprietary software. In 2010, CGenie rated Blender as a fledgling product with the majority of its users being "hobbyists" rather than students or professionals but with its high standards rising yearly. They also reported that users thought Blender needed more development and required more compatibility with other programs.
In 2011, Blender 2.5 was released. Featuring a completely redesigned user interface, it aims to improve work flow and ease of use. During beta-testing, Blender 2.5's animation system was considered by the Sintel animators to be as good as or better than some commercial packages.

Famous quotes containing the words comparison with and/or comparison:
“I have travelled a good deal in Concord; and everywhere, in shops, and offices, and fields, the inhabitants have appeared to me to be doing penance in a thousand remarkable ways.... The twelve labors of Hercules were trifling in comparison with those which my neighbors have undertaken; for they were only twelve, and had an end; but I could never see that these men slew or captured any monster or finished any labor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In everyone’s youthful dreams, philosophy is still vaguely but inseparably, and with singular truth, associated with the East, nor do after years discover its local habitation in the Western world. In comparison with the philosophers of the East, we may say that modern Europe has yet given birth to none.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
