"Time spent fixing [software I don't use] would be better spent polishing [software I use] and making it even better."
To be honest both Soft and Maya still need a fair amount of work done to them: they each have their own weird blind-spots. I think the case for using some of Soft's UI/ICE guys giving some of their expertise to Maya is pretty strong, whichever way you look at it - not every Maya user has an rnd team behind them, after all..
