[Bf-committers] Why has "CTRL y" been removed from blender ?

[Jim Williams]

I'm not inclined to see Maya et. al. as THE MARKET.  I think
the 3D virtual reality environments are probably already a larger
market for Blender, if a currently largely invisible one.

Certainly, if Blender is to ever have a really huge user base
it will be in the Metaverse.  This is the place where even
end-users would have some sort of interest in using a 3D
modelling/animation program and have some sort of skill
in moving about in three dimensions.  All the other environments
are mass media with very small actual user communities.
