Beats every one of the tools I've used in the past (though they've all probably matured significantly since I last used them, but then again, so has Blender in the time I've been using it). :) As to Maya, I've personally shown Maya users around Blender and gotten quite a few "OOooh"s and "Aaah"s out of them, so I dunno… Maybe they might be easily coaxed away from Maya. I certainly intend to sing the praises of Blender to any of 'em that'll listen. ;)
