the shader tree is fun and easy to work, you can override many materials and
have groups of materials sharing certains part, that make it easy to modify and
lighter for rendering since doesn't have to compile deiferent chonks of shaders
all the time.
shader tree oppose to other 3d packages, can work on polygon level, object lvl,
groups, etc... or if the artist likes to work in a simple matter they still can
do, one material for each object, or a material for each material group.
the only thing to have in mind, is organization, since it save all the shaders
in the same place, is no like xsi, that you go to the material, and you get the
tree of only that particular one, here you get to see everything, but is easy
as put things in a folder and name it. =).

Certainly considering Modo, looks like it has a lot of potential. Had my eye on
it for a good while but never could find the time to delve into it.

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!

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
