Then why do you think more programs are moving toward a node-based paradigm?
Specifically, Blender and C4D are new to the party, but traditionally, *most* compositing software is node-based. Nuke, Houdini, Shake, Silhouette, Substance Designer...
Hell, Adobe *themselves* eventually added the flowchart view to AE as a tacit admission that layers are an insufficient metaphor for temporal media.
Layers work great for stills, but nobody photoshops at 60FPS.
And given that there’s a free version of Fusion, it’s probably not a bad idea to spend a little extra time learning the logic used by nearly the entire VFX industry.
I do agree that Fusion has hang ups and workflow issues. There are dozens of places it could learn from those other programs, and AE might even have a few lessons for Fusion, but its core principles aren’t among them.
The day Fusion asks me if I want to “move existing attributes into a new precomposition” is the day I chuck my laptop into the nearest river and take up needlepoint.
