One thing I find handy in the fxtree is that you can link scene objects
to comp effects via expressions.
I've done allot of re-lighting and 2.5D tracking this way.
I will miss it but I don't think it gets into the top 5 for me.

Stack concept is probably my favorite feature that I know Maya won't have
ever but I'll try not to post the same tools everybody is posting:
- Snapping that simply works as you expect. Most Maya users slide the mouse
to snap to points. We just click.
- Move Tool (M key)

It would be more fair to regroup the list of top5 into distinct categories:
modelling, rigging, animation, rendering, FX ... and a general one for the
workflow, UI, and such.
Here's a quickie from my experience of using Maya in rigging/dev:
*Rigging*
- friendly weights painting and spreadsheet
1 - Render Passes Partitions
2 - *ICE*
3 - UI in general: specially the Render Tree
4 - Animation Toolset

Well, fine. If they turn Maya into something that works as well as Soft,
then I'll be happy to use it.
At least someone...
They don't even know what to steal...

1- ICE
2- Pass system
3- Operator Stack
4- Models (namespace) and RefModels
5- Various transform modes (local, global, ref, proportional, plane, etc.)

Yeah Steven is right. Also what Bradley Gabe mentioned. You would of
thought a professional multi million pound corporation would of maybe
thought of this before an EOL for softimage.
If you have the choice of what software you can go to in your studios. I
would suggest choosing a software from a
Model
Animate
Render

ICE

My tougth about this is most of the top features exept maybe ICE is just
not applicable to Maya due to it's architecture, specialy the explorer or

Of course there can be considerably more capable comp apps around,..

1. Passes/Partitions
2. Operator Stacks/Construction Modes
3. ICE
4. GUI (text-based labelling makes it straight forward to read and fast to get

5. Render Tree
