Are both applications such complex beasts that you couldn’t master both of them? I doubt it somehow.
They are fundamentally the same field of work, so knowing the strenghths of both applications makes sense, and could enhance understanding/appreciation/informed frustation with the other application.
combustion lacks certain plug-in’s for example.
I’m getting to know combustion but feeling I want AE to have as a tool alongside. AE has far more, and better, learning tools available, this makes a big difference, and I don’t doubt will improve my combustion chops too.
