I´m doing a lot pf poly modeling work in Maya 2016 atm and am
happy to benefit from the adaption/porting/inspiration taken from
Softimage and it´s developers for ways of improving Maya´s modeling.
The Maya 2016 release (latest SP) can be modeled with reasonably well.
I still miss niceties from S
in short Maya will never be logical workflow user friendly app but continue
to be Frankenstein of misc apps slaps together in most messeedup way ;)

Yeah, well, not wanting to go over old ground, but there was alot of

There is kind of an architectural glass ceilling with ICE modeling,

As it's implemented, it's like writing a script that calls the functions we have

I agree.
Softimage is like those nice spaceship Lego sets, with specialized
shapes and parts, to help you build something awesome quick.
Houdini is just a shit-load of the basic square Lego bricks, with a few
