Hi Mirko, If only it were that simple. But if I publicly said that Maya users were not artists my inbox would swell a few hundred thousand times :). But the reality is that most of the Maya users out there are artists not developers.

To developers Maya sounds like god given tol to work on. On the other hand to artists Softimage is god given tool to work on. Now at the end what is more important - developers to have smooth day developing or artists to have smooth workflow? :) Ideally it would be both bur right now artists are loosing battle.. with heavy losses :) Point is, why killing when instead by developing Maya, making it better, really better, people would naturally move to better tool. This right now is shoving it to Softimage users in the face saying that we will like it and it is for our own good. All this issue could be handled way better with much lesser resistance if AD actual paid attention to customersand tried to eas in and help with transition instead of killing years of dedication and experiences and turning a LOT of Softimage veterans into Maya juniors... Btw most of those now to be juniors are 30+,40+ ...
