Blender 3.0
Blender's 2.9 release was what did it for me. That team is on fire.I'll hype Krita's 5.0 release (still in beta) - it has the same "turnaround" feel.Thanks, everyone, for plugging the donut tutorial link! Checked it out today. 3D modeling has lots of subtle, jarring nuances and the author addresses them head-on. Recommended.It's exciting to see libre software becoming so refined. Several projects are serious about managing the triangle of UI, stability, and features. These tools aren't "in the artists' way" anymore.
