"I am aware that making a "pretty UI" is - at least from a programmer's stand 
point, not a "cool" challenge, but having nice and meaningful colors, good drag 
and drop functionality, text instead of ugly icons and all the other nice 
little things as one finds in the ICE Tree or Modo's schematic view make a huge 
difference for the paying (!) customer, i.e. the gals and guys that spend hours 
and hours using the app.That's what makes Softimage so special: it just feels 
right and it actually is a real pleasure to do things, even complicated things. 
One truly has the feeling that somebody sat down and thought about how to 
implement something and - most importantly - how to make the user interaction 
as pleasant and intuitive as possible."
Couldn't agree more with you Eric. I was introduced to the node editor some 
months ago,and for a second though maya actually got an actual nice node editor 
as the render tree in xsi.that didnt last long...  sure is better then the 
crappy hypergraph & connection editor... butstill looks awful to me and makes 
shading (something  I actually really enjoy doing in the render tree) something 
very unpleasant...the devil is in the details and they surely have not 
understand this, xsi did so though.. such a shame  (oh wait the foundry also 
got it! :)

If they do get one, please someone make sure that they make it work with auto 
arrange! My CTRL+R addiction in ICE renders Soft's one useless. :(

    No, Modo doesn't not yet have a Group Comment node.

              I'm not sure what you mean by "with a statement". Can
                you elaborate?

                      Ooo ! does it have a system for
                        gathering a group of nodes with a statement and
                        moving them around ?,
