Hi Mr.Roosendaal , I'm excited for this AMA and want to thanks you for this.
Here's a little background before my question, I'm a Visual-Effects artist, I used to work freelance and now run my own shop in Paris. I use every industry tool that exists from Cinema4D to Maya and Max. I have, admittedly, been a Blender hater for long (being unable to use it for serious work didn't help) but will try and have a neutral view on it for this question.
My question is in two part :
1) Do you think the Open Sourceness of Blender, while being a strength, can also be a con because I do feel that developers that are necessary for features tend to not know a lot about UI design and are against change in that matter (you just have to look at the forum post by Blender power-users whenever this subject is brought up)
2) What is your opinion of Andrew Price's presentation on why the Blender UI is currently the one point that is holding it back in the industry and the solutions he brings up.
Again, I may not like the software but I respect your work and hope for it to be in a state where one day I and countless other could be regular users !
