Hey everyone, glad you're liking the example. As to the question of what is in Fabric Engine for people who can't code, I think that it will just be our responsibility as tool builders to build up a library of tools With the current implementation of splice it is still a bit hard to reproduce the full functionality of a suite of compounds like LK Lightning. At least in Softimage, in Maya I think it would be pretty doable, but not perfect. 2.0 will hopefully help a lot with that.
@EricThivierge I was having concerns along similar lines. I think an ice attribute should simply be an array of that type in another application, but I haven't taken a look yet. I'll download a maya trial later, will give it a try and report back.
