The scope and quality of work shows here is stunning and a tribute to the vision of those who designed XSI and ICE. At the risk of being non-constructive, this really does serve to underline the sheer scope of AD's short sightedness. They are killing an application that is 5 years ahead of Maya, so that they can focus on creating features and future products that one can only hope will offer the same power and flexibility....5 years from now.
It will be interesting to see what AD has to offer in 2 years from now and whether it even comes close to plugging the gaping holes that have created.
