I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don't hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don't even use.

Back in the early 10's I paid $200 for a year subscription license to Adobe Flash Pro, as I had convinced myself I was gonna learn to use it to produce sprite animations like the ones I grew up enjoying on Newgrounds. Never booted it once.

If you're still up for some animation practice, Blender's grease pencil is fantastic, free, and integrates with the rest of Blender very well

Blender has got to be one of the most hilariously vertically integrated apps I've ever seen. Next thing I'll hear is it can file my taxes.

For a free piece of software it has no right being as good and as easy to use as it is.
