Great addons list, thanks for sharing

think that Blender last 2 years looks like Autodesk. So slow development. did you see how Maxon team develop new features in Cinema... so many needed tools like physics, fluids, RBD dynamics and so more are coming to Cinema. Blender stopped at geometry nodes.

​@@misanthrope_01 i think only toxic people who don't know how to communicate with people from another communities always complain about toxic people because there are plenty of pros in VFX, mostly games who are using blender professionally in their pipeline who don't complain like that. If you don't act toxic like this and have some patience, you'll come across more mature and civil blender users on the internet.
What exactly the architecture problem blender has? I'm pretty sure the core architecture has been rewritten many times and no add-ons can't fix core architecture of blender, most add-ons are just scripts for blender and a lot of the time they use add-ons because they are made with python, and they are 10000 times easier and faster to create than implementing some features native, that's without talking about many roadmaps and principles you'd have to align with to add a feature which is why some of the small missing features in blender are fixed with add-ons until they get implemented natively.
Also, if you only have so many problems with blender and can only say bad things about it, then why are using it? If you are gonna act like a housefly and only look at sht then you are never gonna smell what flowers smell like.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions but comparing Blender's development with Autodesk's is a massive criminal level offence. Last 2 years have been slow development in blender? I mean sure, c4d added many features to that's because despite being industry standard for motion graphics, c4d basically lacked the most basic features of any 3d software like a PARTICLE SYSTEM, smoke sim, still to this date lacking liquid sim and people had to use so many expensive plugins like x particle for basics things like that, c4d didn't even come with a proper unbiased pbr render (not counting the physical renderer), not to mention it lacked proper modelling tools, the sculpting tools are still bad, it couldn't even basic UV stuff like cut seams before R20 and list is very, very long. Not saying blender is feature full either, but it already comes with those features you were jumping on about, even tho blender literally added more features than 20 years of max and maya development combined in the last 5+ years LMAO. Have you checked the dev roadmap of blender? Stopping at geonodes? IG some people don't know about this but geonodes is the end all b all for blender, the whole goal was called "everything nodes'' where everything about blender would be controlled by nodes in the future, blender didn't stop at geonodes, they just started with it, in future everything will have nodes, now modelling has, next animation, physics, rendering, etc.
