I’m new to Fusion as well, been using for about a year, others can feel to correct me if I’m wrong.
Fusion is a compositing software, used by vfx artists to combine 2D and 3D elements together. Fusion can be used as a motion graphics software, much like After Effects can be used for compositing. I guess everybody is trying to do a bit of everything these days. I’d say fusion has more in common with AE than with those other 3D modeling programs; both can work in 2D or 3D environments.
I personal find that working in Fusion is much, much less frustrating than AE. Not better or worse in capability, but at the end of the day, less swearing. You will probably find the learning curve steep because it is different, but once you get it, I feel you can play around with things and be more creative without running into brick walls. So, even though Fusion and AE were initially designed for different things, they can be used to do similar things, but the paths are a little different.
