Not to be taken very seriously. Doesn't even mention TVPaint.

Latest version from Reallusion, taking over from Crazytalk Animator 3 is Cartoon Animator 4.

This is kinda funny considering many professional studios have used TVPaint in animation production, including where I work. Also, when I think about my 12-year old daughter using TVPaint to create animated shorts that won school district awards, I'd say TVPaint definitely qualifies as a 'Best 2D Animation Software for Beginners and Professionals'.
(Plus, it works great with Moho too.)

I just can't take any list seriously which includes TVP as well as Crazytalk Animator. Two lists, one for beginners, would be a better (and more convincing) way.
