I'd prefer switching to Povray rather having to go any AD product.
And that's better if they don't integrate any SI intelligence in Maya.
There are nicer companies out there that are willing to do proper work.

Maya more into Softimage....

Defining better would be quite an exercise so if the question is
serious I would invite Autodesk to form a product experts team,
bring the best XSI artists to the table and formalise how Maya
should evolve to make it usable.
I would happily be part of it if you really are interested but I
will charge the normal daily rate as it will take too much of my time.

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.
