If a better open source alternative to Autodesk Fusion comes around I'll certainly use it. I'm not saying that I'm against OSS or getting better software for free. I'm just saying that there's a $820 billion global market of software that's obviously worth paying for, and I'm going to pay for software if it fits my budget and is the best choice for me.

If all proprietary software that dared to charge a fee was destined to “die” this very forum wouldn’t exist.

If you think companies like Oracle are going to die, go ahead and short their stock. Better start selling your S&P 500 and QQQ shares. Oracle has just about doubled in the last year. Good luck!
