What do I love about Blender? That working in the application is so integrated, fast & flexible, for example for shading while changing some uvs on the fly with Cycles still running.
Also the amazing bunch of build-in add-ons for so many useful things, from archviz to generating trees. And, of course, the Add-ons made by talented programmers are so affordable or even free. For example this Car Rig add-on. Needless to say, subscription-free.
Yes, still many areas can be improved, but so much stuff is there already.
