But do I get crashes everyday? No, I don't. Just yesterday I got a crash and I lost about 30 minutes of work. I'm not saying Maya is perfect, or that it never crashes. They key term there being 'uses' which, if Maya was 'unusable', then wouldn't that be an impossibility? So I counter with the fact that most of the industry at large uses Maya. One of these assertions, yours, posits that Maya is 'unusable'. Since you decided to come here with anecdotes and open with an assertion of Maya being 'unusable', I follow with another assertion. There was a time when autodesk was alright, but not modern autodesk it's a corporate abomination now much like adobe

It's also impossible to improve software like maya now because stagnation in software engineering leads to such incredible technical debt it is nigh impossible to refactor No one in studios like autodesk software, they tolerate it and write most of their own features or use 3rd party plugins because base autodesk software ranges from average to very unstable Vfx and tv shops are finding ways to use houdini/blender/UE over autodesk software because its instability is too costly However studios especially gamedev studios are becoming more agnostic toward software packages as the engine is the bottleneck and most indie devs do not use maya but blender instead which year on year is becoming quite formidable Autodesk got in on the ground floor and then bought out all their competition, that's why autodesk software is so stagnant with no features worth talking about in the last decade because they don't have to be good to be used, they're embedded in everything so people cope
