Yes. I believe there are only the "Surface Assemble"and "Surface Fit"
tools, that came new to XSI. Everything eIse on the nurbs and curve
tools came from softimage3d.
But they didn't implement bezier and cardinal splines, sadly.
Nurbs curves do support Bezier knots (or points - knot and point
coincide when the knot has 'full multiplicity'). Bezier is a subset of
Nurbs, so to say.
Just in case this is news: use the 'move component tool' if you like
Bezier tanget handles, as in the usual 2d vector applications.
On surfaces, however, the tool does not work 'Bezier-style'. No reason
why it shouldn't, though. It just wasn't implemented that way.
Anyway, the move component tool is among the things that was done quite
nicely, in the Nurbs realm. At least something good we inherited from
those days.

And even surface continuity manager was a plugin for Softimage 3D
before XSI, wasn’t it?

xsi did not even have trims then, so the author did not know what he
was talking about. except for the surface continuity manager, xsi has
fewer curve/nurbs features than Softimage 3D

How times have changed... would you call the Nurbs tools "extensive"
these days?
Definite 'no' for Nurbs curves anyway... still, they are traditionally
not taken into account as a powerful asset for polygon modeling, which
they are (or could be).

That's a line I haven't seen in a long, long time... ;-)

Softimage. For years those three little syllables rolled off the
tongues of 3D artists everywhere with wonder. But then something
happened. 3D Studio became 3D Studio Max. PowerAnimator became Maya.
And Softimage … well, Softimage remained the same.
