I can without a doubt say that Blender is my number one favorite piece of software I’ve ever used! The speed of development is breakneck now, but the program still runs solid and stable, and the community around the program is excellent, too!

Amen to that! In another life, SoftImage 3D was my favorite tool. Then Microsoft bought it. Then Autodesk, the software graveyard tar pit, bought it and petrified it for all eternity. There will never be any more SoftImage development.

Can’t happen to Blender. Blender will always be free and cross platform. Learn Blender and use it for life.

Given how Blender came into being (acquired a product facing an economic dead end), never say never. There could be other products out there barely breaking even for companies that could be rescued by foundations.

I guess in no less than 5-10 years, blender will become No.1 tool in 3D modeling world, much better than maya and 3ds max. I hope that day come!
