Yeah Greg Leuenberger (who made those vids) is a really awesome guy and
knows his Modo very well. I hadn't seen that video yet, but it seemed
very insightful!
The Shader Tree is probably (almost certainly?) the most controversial
area of Modo. But honestly I find that the people who are dead-set
against it are those who don't fully understand it. Once people
understand it, some may still want to interact with nodes (cause who
doesn't like nodes?), but in most cases they realize the strength of the
Shader Tree and are less up-in-arms against it. Most nay-sayers just
don't know anything other than nodes, and don't want to bother learning
anything new. They just see a 2D representation and assume it's "just
like Photoshop".... and that's not accurate. I think Greg's videos and
others like them go a long way to demystifying it. And let's face it...
it needs demystifying! LOL! :-D

Tim, thank you so much!
Great explanation, and thanks for taking the time to explain.
Here is more info:
I also found that these three videos are VERY well put together to
describe
these concepts in depth.

The one called SHADER TREE FIGHT (linked below) is about 30 minutes,
and _really_ goes in depth explaining the concept behind the modo
Shader Tree.
I watched it this morning, and already feel *far *more comfortable in
modo.

Hope you all find theses as useful as I did...
