I’m still a novice with it, so many aspects are still over my head. However, I have read many people saying that it is a lot more powerful than maya, especially for FX (what I use it for). I’ve also heard it said that it is slowly becoming the industry standard, over maya. I know I see a lot of job postings that list it as a requirement, so I guess it wouldn’t hurt to at least learn it. I suggest getting the free edition and trying it out - see what you think.
