Why Blender lasted

  • The 2002 community buyout turned a doomed in-house tool into a public good. That origin story still funds it.
  • It is now good enough that studios use it without apologising.

Why Figma lasted

  • Multiplayer design in a browser ended the 'final.psd' era.
  • The file is a URL. That is a distribution trick Adobe spent years not shipping.
