I've been using Blender since version 2.4x (2.45 IIRC), so have gone through a lot of changes and updates over the years.
I was able to get Maya 2016 and 2018 with an Educational License, and took a couple of online courses, and once I was familiar with the UI, I found it a lot easier to work with than I thought it would be, but I'm a Blender user for too long, and as Lux pointed out, a lot has been upgraded in Blender over the years, so it's definitely more cost effective for those who are not working with large animation studios.
Truthfully, I like them both, but since being a full-time retiree for over 12 years, I can't see myself ever paying the full cost for Maya, which is one of the (if not the) most expensive 3D production softwares out there.
