I wouldn't expect many changes in the core since the development team
has changed entirely.
From what I've heard, 3dsMax has the same problem. The core engineers
have all left over time and the new team can only add new buttons. I
suspect the same is happening for Softimage.
This is unfortunate, but very understandable.

WTF? There are **plenty** of areas that need improvement in Softimage:
-ASCII file format support for forward/backwards compatibility and
external access for custom development
-Realtime Shaders (High Quality Viewport) can use a complete rebuild
as the current one is near useless.
-Completion of NURBS curve and surface modeling SDK and tools
-Support for topology generators in SDK outside of ICE
-Multithreading support in UI and SDK.
-Expansion of user interface SDK so we can things other than property
pages.
-Improvement to weight editing tools for assigning/reassigning weights
to bones and different envelopes
-Etc..
Maybe you don't see the sore spots, but I certainly do. The Softimage
core is where a lot of work is needed as many systems are unfinished
or not accessible which makes it very difficult to write custom tools
or get performance needed to serve larger scale pipelines. That's why
a lot of effort was put into ICE over the past few releases.
Unfortunately, some of the areas of great need weren't touched, or not
touched enough.

Well that sure is something people using Houdini appreciate and we
using AD products regret. Perhaps updates are so Top Secret that AD
doesn't want other software companies to see what's coming up...
More of the same. In the meantime we can only hope that NEW
IMPROVEMENTS to Softimage are coming. Something like now you can
have in Maya the Softimage color scheme and vs., ...
But for some small things actually the way Softimage is now with the
participation of Exocortex, Eric Mootz, and the other addons that are
coming out, I think that there is not too much to improve...

This is an example of a proper software update.

Guys,
Don't you think it's better to just wait for the list to be
released before getting too worked up over it?
