The objective is not “perfect”, but “better than what we have”, there’s probably no way to get to perfect today within some niches, but there’s still chances of improvement
Yes, you might be able to do it in European software but even if you might, it always means you waste a lot more time on it. And if your job’s competitive, there’s no way you have that to spare.
Don’t get me wrong,I want things to change and I’m honestly really hopeful, but we’re not quite there yet.
Blender is indeed really good, but depending on what you wanna do you’re at the mercy of an external renderer, which could either be EU (e.g. V-Ray out of Sofia) or from outside (e.g. Octane is from California).
It’s pretty easy if you have an e-mail job, but it’s hard to avoid American software with stuff like CAD.
Dassault Systemes (CATIA and SolidWorks) is French and Bricsys (BricsCAD) it’s Belgian/Swedish. Unfortunately PTC and Autodesk are both American.
Draftsight only has Windows and Mac versions, though.
Siemens (NX etc) is pretty European though.

That’s what I’m saying.

The only one i know of is rendering. Blender is open source and from the Netherlands (iirc) and just as powerful as anything else on the market.
