    I first started my 3D journey in Blender for a year, then I tried C4D+Octane, and now after seeing all of these new Blender 3.0 features and tutorials I’m definitely thinking I’m gonna go back to Blender for good.

      Yes, you absolutely should use what feels right. Blender is interesting to me because of the large community base, the render engines it supports, and it free!

    I've tried to recreate in Blender a scene I had in Cinema for a class I was teaching, and omg it took me HOURS to recreate a simple scene (it was a soft ball colliding with a cube). Passing the difficulties, Blender it's a very powerful tool and it's impressive the quality it offers (rendering and modeling) for free. Good luck on the journey! haha

    To my opinion, Cinema 4D is mostly mouse & UI focused, meaning that everything has to be doable and accessible with a mouse. Where Blender is mostly keyboard focused, lots of functionnalities aren't made for being used with a mouse. Just like Going in Camera View, moving objetcs in space, adding objects or navigating views. I think that's why you're so lost in there x)

      Blender remind me on old joke about man which carry heavy anvil trough jungle. Because if he meet lion he can throw anvil and run faster. Blender offer ( push ) some 'advanced' functionality which.... not so many people use, but stuff which everyone constantly use are ...... crippled.
      Blender is not keyboard focused... better to say he is unfocused. So many stuff are unpractical, illogical, overcomplicated. For example, you simply make TFD deformer as child of object and you are done... In Blender? There is too many such stupidity. In short, Blender is capable but Stupid software... at least for my taste.

      I don't mention gizmos.... However my statement stay. I use C4D and Blender as main modeling, scene assembly and rendering software. Blender lose in every way. On every Blender advantages there is 10 or more disadvantages. I discuss this many times with Blender "users".
      btw. I usually avoid to use plugins, scripts, or Addons. But most of my Blender addons are de facto stuff which bring back C4D native functionality to Blender. Don't you consider this as sad? Truth is that Blender are "inspired" with Autodesk, which is ok. in some area. But they oversight C4D workflow functionality. So be happy with your "shortcuts"... until I with one click do stuff which are hassle in Blender.

The first few days I was like you in the video! I have been using Blender for about three years now and believe me I would never go back.
    Certainly there are some flaws to correct, but to date with version 3 the leap in quality is clearly superior to other more noble programs on the market.

    I start to use Blender... sometime. Well, he is not so bad.... but for sure is overhyped. Out of box cinema have same modeling capability as Blender, for me Cinema even have slight advantage. But this is just my personal opinion. For sure Blender have some nice features, but also too many stupid disadvantages. Even worse, he is badly designed, like someone intentionally make it confused, illogical, slow, impractical. Stuff are hidden, you can't customize Blender ( NO shortcuts and glorious pie menus are NOT customization ), etc. etc.
    I can use it, but this is bumpy ride for me. So I use it for some task, mostly rendering.
    Extrude, cancel, then switch to move tool to move extruded polygons.... Seriously? What about just grab polygon / s press ctrl and drag. You need zillion addons for basic stuff, etc. etc.

In my opinion there is currently an army of young 3D artists that are using it. Soon they will move on to use it for professional use. Once that “generation” comes around you will see it integrated into a lot mitre studios.
