My five as simply put as i can..... workflow - fast an intuitive, enable me to hit ever decreasing deadline. Ice - a complete game changer, give me the ability to always find a solution to a client's requests. Render setups - Pass, partitions and overides make multi pass rendering very easy to do, so little wasted on having to set these things up. Interface - genuinely customisable to give me the best setup for whichever task i'm doing. Unclutered allowing me to see the results of what i'm actually doing. render region - without this i would spend days just waiting for previews. Lookdev is a pleasure using this.
thanks for all you efforts Alastair, very much appreciated.

Passes, partitions, overrides and the like. Makes using all other packages seem like a real ball ache. - ICE of course. It empowers you to create something hugely complex in a very time efficient and flexible manner without needing to be a python guru. Also has created a massive, and amazing ecosystem of ICE resources for the community to share (and they do). - It is as close to a one stop shop as you will ever get. I can tweak a particle setup say and instantly see it rendered with the regions. - Clean yet powerful interface. You always know where you and what your scene elements are doing. - Hugely adaptive to small productions. As you said in your letter Alastair, allows you to really punch above your weight in terms of results vs studio size and project time.

What I'd like is your top 5 features that make Softimage great that we'd miss if we migrated to something else. Please don't give me more than 5 and please don't go on too long describing them (It takes a while to read all the posts).
