Unlike most other medium, 3D can take years and years to master a package.  Of course you will build an attachment to it.  It's no different in high end, in fact, there's even MORE attachment by folks there, who have gone to school to learn their trade, and were taught on a particular package.

It's understandable actually, if you invest big money in an application, and years of learning, to defend that package, and stick with it.

The thing I don't get are the hobbyists who complain and defend a package that is either FREE, or very low cost and EASY to learn (comparitively speaking).  That to me is the thing I will never get.

Blender has more fanboys that will hang you should you criticize it than any other software I know.  WHY?  You're getting it for nothing.  Try spending half your life savings into a package, then spend 10 years learning it, and using it to land jobs, etc., then you have earned the right to either complain about it, or defend it to the death.
