He, he, the owner of a restaurant that serves healthy food containing
everything the body needs (calories, vitamines etc.) but that looks,
tastes and smeels bad, must not be surprised if people complain :)
Seriously, the problem is not the functionality, it is the usability,
the "look and feel".
I am aware that making a "pretty UI" is - at least from a programmer's
stand point, not a "cool" challenge, but having nice and meaningful
colors, good drag and drop functionality, text instead of ugly icons and
all the other nice little things as one finds in the ICE Tree or Modo's
schematic view make a huge difference for the paying (!) customer, i.e.
the gals and guys that spend hours and hours using the app.
That's what makes Softimage so special: it just feels right and it
actually is a real pleasure to do things, even complicated things. One
truly has the feeling that somebody sat down and thought about how to
implement something and - most importantly - how to make the user
interaction as pleasant and intuitive as possible. Not saying that XSI
is perfect, but it definitely is a software made by people who actually
cared about it and wanted to make something good.
Isn't the Softimage crew working on Maya now??? C'mon, guys, you did
such an outstanding job on Softimage, do the same for Maya: make it a
software one loves and likes!

Thanks, guys.
I had already used the node editor in Maya 2014 and yes, it is far better
than the hypergraph, but still... it's not good at all. Had hoped that they
would make that better, but no.
