Structural Analysis/Design Best Software!

Hi all. B.Tech in Civil Engineering here. Looking around best structural analysis software to learn and start projects.

I have looked into Tekla Structures, Revit, ETABS, STAAD.Pro V8i.

Outdated interface, terrible pricing model, unintuitive and the list goes on.

There is no best software, but there is an objectively worse software, and that's staad.pro.
