This is actually interesting. Modo seems to resemble a lynch movie...you either love it or hate it. For example, i hate it's selection tools, and the whole workflow seems alien to me. I tried and tried to get the hang of it, but just as i never got along with lightwave, i don't know if i'll ever get along with modo. The weird thing is, i want to like it...but i just can't seem to get to that point. And it's been like that since the days of 101. Still, i have used it on projects with great success, but only for it's beautiful render engine. Everything else seems backwards to me.
