Now there’s canvas as another paid alternative to blackboard. I think it’s seeing relatively wide adoption.

My school uses Canvas and I think general sentiment is pretty positive from both students and faculty.

Canvas suffers from being originally designed for use in elementary (K-12) school, and then kind of wedged into college. On the teaching side it kind of assumes that classes will always be relatively small (running a 100+ student seminar class in Canvas is a nightmare) and that you, the teacher, don't mind performing the same actions over and over and...
But, it's one of the few LMSs designed post-Web 2.0 so things that require a refresh or reload in BB, etc., generally happen much more smoothly.
