Blender had a reeeeaaally long way though, I remember a time where Blender was quite big already but Maya just was miles ahead in terms of usability. Nowadays they are not only even, Blender is probably used more often since it’s not only free but more people know how to use it than Maya
My last bean to cup machine cost 180€, my new one costs 600€. Most espresso machines cost more than that, some people pay 180€ for just the grinder alone
