Maya f-curves editor out the box is pretty painful. I know a few Softimage animators who have had to use Maya have recommended the Redux plugin...

I agree with the fcurve editor behaving like garbage. even after effects' curve editor is more predictable than maya's most of the time. but I did stumble upon this nifty tool mgtools, which while very convoluted, seems like a very fast animation process. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8vmItRyjUI found this a few days ago, and it looks really cool way to animate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_f8HWoxoX0s another video demoing the toolset the anim recorded tool looks really good at 11 mins in and the tool itself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzultIay4Ag I really like the pathtracker at around 8:00mins in still probably a pain the ass to set up any of the rigs on the characters before you even get to this animation step though.

Is there some way to get it's graph editor to behave more like Soft's, specifically can I edit keys and their tangents without going through twenty hoops to let me simply adjust stuff. If I had any hair I would be tearing it out, instead I'll just die a little inside every time I have to go to key transform tool or click on multiple things to pull on a tangent.
