Hey at least Rhino appears to be run kinda like a co-op where the employees own the company, which is actually really interesting I've never heard of a co-op for a software company

Also same boat - Autodesk sucks and is the Adobe of the industry yes, but like, the alternative is freecad and I'm sorry but freecad kinda sucks especially when it's standing next to like, Fusion360. It's got the learning curve of a vertical line and is kinda missing a ton of stuff

McNeelsoft seem to be a fantastic company from what I can tell. They are local to me in Seattle which I love. They started as an autodesk division but broke away from autodesk to pursue a better product.
