Your right, I should be more specific. When I'm in Soft, I can grab a key or tangent and move or pull it without have to go to any menu options, I find it frustrating to constantly having to go to the move key tool or to free weights and unlock things, it's just the way I work, I'm sure it's good

That looks like Maya's wire deformer which we don't really have a direct equivalent to in Softimage. Maybe there is a curve deformer someone built in ICE that is close to it though. The hard part about this is that you'll have to create a null / control for each vertex to be able to animate
