Blender is mentioned on the 12th place on CGSociety's 2010 Retrospective!
CGSociety writes:
Already superceded by another update to 2.56, the Blender 2.55 upgrade was a major reworking of the interface and engine system for the Open Source tool and was extremely well received. Blender is avaliable cross platform, but utilizes OpenGL for drawing the entire interface. That means you best use a graphics card and drivers that conform to the OpenGL specifications.
Better rigging, animation modeling and rendering capabilities in the 2.5 version have brought Blender front and center for consideration by studios interested in the Open Source solution. Also, those wanting to educate themselves in the finer points of 3D are able to for very little outlay.

Blender is well known in this major league.
Good job of the blender developers . Since the big changes to the blender 2.5 series i returned to blender and put other app's on the side.
"blender for president" doesn't match - but you know what i mean ;)
I'm assuming the image alongside the Blender 2.55 listing is a relative of Suzanne :P
