Learn Maya? No thanks. Personally I would prefer a total severing of all ties with AD. They're not a great company and in general I would prefer to support one that is smaller, and more focused on what I do instead of being almost an afterthought.
If only their stockholders knew that they have been intentionally suppressing the marketing and sales of an excellent product like Soft. Instead of letting consumers decide what's a more viable product for their needs, they've buried it for years now and that's a fact. Is it any wonder sales aren't great? They've been pissing on our heads and telling us it's raining. I hope someone gets their ass fired for it. Wishful thinking for sure...
