I felt the same way and 2.8 has been a HUGE improvement for me. I have a commercial Maya subscription and I have to admit I almost like Blender better at this point. That's less a knock on Maya which is still great, just acknowledging that Blender has come a really long way.
My only small beef is I wish they'd use system dialog boxes for save/load, and texture painting still feels a little clunky.
