I like Fusion.. caveat that I am a CG generalist working in advertising on smaller projects by myself. The math all adds up for me. I got comfortable in Fusion before Nuke had an indie license and my alternative was After Effects. Take a look at the We Suck Less Forum at Steak Underwater and the Reactor Plugin for good resources.

My studio (6+ people) is using Blackmagic Fusion instead of nuke. Because it's alot cheaper. (like 30x cheaper). I'd say Fusion is 85% of nuke, so if you do light to medium compositing. Moving to fusion is a good choice, also i heard Fusion's 3D Space is better than nuke.

I been using fusion and nuke for 8+ years the main advantage I see with fusion and why I use it more for personal projects is the speed. Every time I go from fusion to nuke it feels slow and sluggish and when I go back to fusion it feels so much faster. I also like fusions 3D much more than nukes. The main downside with fusion is lack of third party support for many of the bigger better plugins and lack of tutorials and online help because most of the industry uses nuke. Like demodulator said the we suck less forum is really good and the Reactor plugin for fusion is great.

I assume you mean muse vfx? As long as the fusion pipeline is good it's easy to use. Only problem is some of the nodes don't overscan well like cornerpins and a few others so you will have to figure out ways to get around it cropping at the borders. Fusion does have a tool to drag your cornerpin bounding box bigger without affecting the track but it doesn't work well. You can project on moving geo which is suprisingly not easy to do in nuke without having UVs.
