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:
“Intolerance respecting other people’s religion is toleration itself in comparison with intolerance respecting other people’s art.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“The comparison between Coleridge and Johnson is obvious in so far as each held sway chiefly by the power of his tongue. The difference between their methods is so marked that it is tempting, but also unnecessary, to judge one to be inferior to the other. Johnson was robust, combative, and concrete; Coleridge was the opposite. The contrast was perhaps in his mind when he said of Johnson: “his bow-wow manner must have had a good deal to do with the effect produced.””
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
