It's funny looking at these sorts of thread, I've seen them on and off for years now.
Way I see it, as long as AD can make money from a product they don't spend much on, don't really have to care about, and doesn't really threaten their big sellers, why not keep it going? Is Softimage ever going to get developed hugely from here on in? Nope. But it's doing a pretty good job as is so I can see the next few years being the same as the last. Minor improvements, bugs getting fixed, etc. Once it stops making money for AD, they'll shut it down.
