Well on a nice note I convinced the guys at work to use soft on our last job and they are very much enjoying it. But then again they used max before (and it was killing me.....) We had very long shots, with loaaads of cache from max, and a lot of passes (lots of hero objects per shot) and that would have been a nightmare in max..
I thought the same about if soft was discontiuned, I could happily still use it for years without updates.. Mostly anyway.
