I'm with Raffaele, I think it doesn't make much sense to cling to SI when it comes to developing tools. I've built a ton of custom Soft and ICE tools that help us in our workflow, but ever since the news has been dropped I don't intend to spend much more time developing them further.
This is a dead end, and I'd rather spend time porting these tools to another application, be that Maya or Houdini, than pour even more time into something that's not coming back to life. I'm not sure at what point in life I learned how to move on, but that learning process had nothing to do with software. And nowadays, even as one of the greatest SI fanboys out there, I have a very sober, matter-of-fact-ish point of view on events such as this.
