This has been one of the greatest community achievements that man has made in the last 20 years. Here's hoping it stays open, and empowers people and small businesses alike.

I would say Blender is.

What's even that? Sounds like something kids play with these days, like Fortnite or Minecraft.

There are a lot of great "community achievements" -- some being more than others.. or based on opinions.

- Linux Kernel + GNU

- Blender, Gimp, Git, other free/open software, etc

- OpenStreeMap, Wikipedia, etc

- Programming languages, etc.

- + more

As games are mentioned here -- we do have a number of "community acheivements" in the sector as well. The DooM, Build or Quake games are an example... being over 20 years old and still going strong!

I agree, but the contributions of these other projects have a barrier to entry being that it requires people to largely program.

Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap? Anyone can contribute, and the tools to do so have been made all the more accessible.

I don't know anything about drawing and painting, how would I be aware of some random software for drawing. Anyway thanks for linking.
