A sad day indeed. :_( I'm still grateful to Jordi Bares for introducing me to XSI 10 years ago. It showed me how wrong Maya was.
My current company uses Maya but I still use Softimage for modeling and UV stuff daily. I don't know what my next tool will be, but I will not stick to Maya for sure: it can go to hell and stay there forever.
