I think the average user of Autodesk does not frequent this forum, and probably has no idea what 'open alternative' really means. And no, there are not alternatives for most workloads supported by Autodesk applications. These people are professionals (tutorials are the last thing they need, they learn the software in school) that need to work, they need professional support and they need it now, there are no alternatives at all, aside from Solidworks that's limited to a few domains.
