Yes if you want to play with the stuff that is created with it, you
need to get Fabric. However you need to remember that Fabric gives you
1 free license to each user so it costs nothing other than some time to
install it. Not that much time.
Fabric is a framework to build tools on so you're right it's not for
the non-coders at this point until the bank of tools gets built up. But
once it does it'll be like using an ICE compound in a way, where you
just use the 'Import Splice Op' menu option and apply it to the objects
in your scene as needed.
Lastly, I will say that Fabric is something that you can get your feet
wet with for coding. Especially if you know a little bit about
javascript already. Syntax is pretty similar with some additions for
the Fabric specific stuff. Everyone would be better off if they knew a
little bit of scripting and you may be surprised how far you can get
with only a little coding.

small Q. for us "normal" users that are not into coding.
with all things happening plus busy schedule never enough time to test
new candy but does that mean that we need to get fabric, get splice
and can start using tools that are made and ported?
ofc right now FE is more interesting to coders to start making but you
guys need someone to play with toys you make right? :)

Thanks Leonard! That was an impressively small bit of code
compared to the ICE tree.

Hey everyone, I rewrote a component from one of my Plugins in
Fabric Engine.
This video shows the outcome: https://vimeo.com/88867023
I'm very impressed.
In the video I also answer a question I've been getting some
emails about in the past few days:
What is going to happen to my tools?
I'm going to port and develop them further in Fabric Engine,
for Softimage, but also for whatever other platform we're all
going to end up on.
