Luc-Eric has a point, though, in that you would have to learn 2
applications.
But then, isn't ICE in a way an 'application' on it's own also, or at
least a very different department than the rest of the app?
I guess this has been debated on other places already, but how deep is
the HE integration into the host app?
Can tools also be authored, with some UI interactivity, or is it meant
to be more of a computing engine, that you invoke solely via some PPG?
Bifröst, Fabric, HE... help! Too many nodes for a lifetime... must
become a cycle messenger...

I'm willing to be that if you had it, you'd never use Houdini Engine
in Cinema 4D. This doesn't give you any procedural authoring in C4D,
just the ability to run an asset that was authored in Houdini,
typically with a simple PPG of settings.
As a freelancer looking for an alternative to ICE, it would quite a
waste of time to author the graph in houdini and do all the work to
package it up to run it in C4D. In real life, you'd probably just do
it all on the houdini side and cache out or render there. Or more
realistically, if you spent that much time in C4D that this would be
hugely important, you'd likely do everything there except for the
occasional case when you can't.. and then you probably would not have
had spent enough time with Houdini to be at ease with it to solve the
problem there efficiently. You'd probably end up doing the particles
in C4D's thinking particle instead.
