Oil on my fire.
That cluster SDK restriction really really sucks. It is the reason why
there never were any good topology/modelling addons from 3rd parties,
which leads to stagantion if there aren't any new "factory" modelling
tools brought also.
In 3ds max or Maya, all kinds of plugins are available, completely
natural. Not so in Softimage.
The few ICE modelling tools like Cap are nice, but slow. Native code is
nice and fast.
Luc-Eric mentioned once, ICE was meant to be the "new SDK", that's why
this cluster update mechanism has been implemented for ICE already.
Imho that's an excuse. ICE complements the SDK, it is NOT a replacement!
Cluster updates should be supported by the SDK as well, even if it is
complicated, and thus somewhat of a challenge for a 3rd party dev.
Try us! Provide a good code example alongside, and we'll do fine.
Be wise and do it. Please.

Just give us proper SDK and let community do the rest.

Softimage currently does not fully support custom topology operators.
The problem is that any cluster or cluster property will not properly
update when a topology operator adds or removes points that belong to
the cluster. In the worst case Softimage may crash. Hence custom
topology operators should only be used in the more limited scenario of
objects that do not have any clusters. Once the geometry is ready it
would be possible to freeze the object to remove the custom topology
operators (but leave the result of their evaluation), then to add the
clusters and other operators.

as for Modo vs SI – a little bird tells me there’s more important
issues at stake than selection.

now now gentlemen, there are ladies present on the list too!
lets just say , when it comes to apps and selection methods,
leave the race courses for the race horses..!

That's prolly because bigger boobs aren't obstructed so much,
so they are much easier to select in shaded mode ;-)
