Exactly. For example, in Maya there is no object to cluster constraint,
so you have to use a 3rd party tool Rivet to attach things to geometry.
But if you need to apply a Smooth to render it in the Maya renderer, it
explodes.
So, don't use the Maya renderer, or...
You can use djRivet, which uses follicles intead of edges, but which
relies on.... UV's being present.
Works great.. until you change the UVs in any way.
Not really a non-linear workflow. It's more like a circular workflow.

find mind numbing is how tied to UVs some tools are.
Hair work... try and groom something, and then realize you need to
tweak your UVs. Gotta start over
Painting weights. Gotta have UV's to do smoothing. - Edit the Uv's..
start over.

IMHO scripting is for making crappy software work at all
(Maya) and for creating something special with good software
that has buttons for all the ordinary stuff (XSI).
I simply don't have time to learn scripting, not least because
my mind doesn't lend itself to that kind of thinking and
remembering syntax etc. My time is better spent figuring out
how to do great stuff with ICE. The only scripting I do is
some half arsed copy pasting from the script editor to
facilitate unified pass setups across multiple shots and
similar stuff on that level. That I can do :)

"Just learn to script"
It's not that easy for every one...
My brain simply does not work that way, I would rather
keep polishing my art skills and learn all the amazing new
painting tools than learn to script. Being person with
dyslexia makes its more than a bit difficult for me to
jump on the scripting train.
All this talk of the reality of the need for constant
scripting as part of your daily work flows in Maya makes
me literally sick to my stomach....
