    Does Blender also qualify? It even shows you the name of the Python function behind each UI element on hover, which is great for discoverability when scripting. Or maybe it used to…

    Not just a $PROPRIETARY_THING, but a random unaffiliated project that tries to nab users by using almost the same name as a well-known and well-appreciated project. It should count…
