It's probably not clear from the outside, you're seeing the after-Marc Petit era. Marc believed in serving the big film clients and let the work trickle down. So the team worked on data management, APIs, Qt, viewport, platform stuff. But now M&E is realigning Maya to a appeal to a broader user base to there is a huge push in design and focus on the generalists. Maya LT is also putting pressure on the product because it is not for traditional studio users.
