No matter what skill level, if you don't open Maya and run for the hills, aren't ya glad? Some people are afraid of or overwhelmed by Maya.

I see amazing work made with other 3D apps and it makes me want to dabble in them, but artists who are amazing will make any software look great. I'm not one of those amazing artists, but I love Maya's levels of complexity, tools, ease of use (for me) and updates.

My favorite 3D films are made in Maya. The Academy Award-winning blockbuster Frozen was created with Maya! So each time I get frustrated and stuck in another 3D app I think of what a Maya professor asked me, "If you know Maya, why are you using [software ___]?" Good question. Maya rocks.
