The problem is often academic capture. Universities teach Autodesk software and most companies expect you to use Autodesk software.

My animation program teaches mostly blender :) But itโ€™s in Europe

And it's animation, not architecture and engineering.

Confusingly, this post is about (animation) movie creation software. Namely : Maya (from Autodesk) v.s. blender

It's indeed confusing. The Wikipedia title says one thing, but the sidebar says another?

i got confused myself ... first I thought it was about CAD software ... then read many comments ... then noticed something was wrong ... then looked again carefully at this image of wiki and thought : okay, this is confusing ... I can say more ... do not know more.
