the shader tree is fun and easy to work, you can override many materials and
have groups of materials sharing certains part, that make it easy to modify and
lighter for rendering since doesn't have to compile deiferent chonks of shaders
all the time.
shader tree oppose to other 3d packages,
a talk about modo as a plataform (Nexus) vs a modeler only product...
sorta directed at ex-XSI users

Yes materials are not closed entities like they are in Softimage. Also,
if you need to make the shader tree easier to read, there is an option
to filter by current selection, so that the tree will only show
materials that are assigned to the current selection.

I agree with most of ideas about Modo.
It's not yet complete tool, but I think 801 or 901 would be a lot better
than Maya. I believe this because Modo dev team listen what user want.

going to be first try, then I don't know

Those free nodes. Do they work over render farm clients like deadline? Last
time I checked (4 years ago) it needed licences for that.
Free render nodes worked on the basis of extra rendering threads for local
