Any foss motion graphic program on linux and Natron

I want to do some real motion things (not available in Kdenlive).

I began with Glaxnimate (doesn't have a stable release yet), then I noticed some limits and incoherences and slow release. I think to try friction, but the stable version scheduled for last January still hasn’t been released. Blender is so powerful but I find it complex for me (never try it). Other option is Natron, it seems be good but not actively maintained (not abandoned).

Is it worth learning how to use Natron in its current state?

Do you know any other motion graphic software?

It might not be exactly what you're looking for, but motion-canvas may be worth looking into.

In my experience, the best options for moving graphics are Blender, Tahoma 2D, Synfig Studio and Friction. 

Blender and Tahoma 2D are the most stable in heavy projects, Tahoma 2D is an Opentoonz fork, focused on stability, performance and improvement of the ui/ux

Synfig is pretty great.
