It's really puzzling (but extremely welcome) that Blender continues to be such an open source success story. Seems rare for such complex pieces of software in a niche space to get that level of development. I wonder what the secret is.

Outstandingly excellent leadership who attracts and inspires an extremely skilled dedicated international team. Ton Roosendaal is the open secret, who's earned all that great credit, reputation, and loyalty over the decades.
