Problematic name aside…it just plain sucks. It's not in the same ballpark as Blender, not the same league, not even the same sport.

Yeah, it's technically just about as powerful as PS but ho-lee-crap is the UI/UX awful. I've been trying to learn it for probably 20 years and I still don't really get it, to the point that the $20 a month for the Evil Empire (plus a terabyte of storage, which isn't bad at all) is looking very useful.
