The only thing I like about the interactive tool is it's snapping working correctly, but it's main feature, drawing edges, doesn't do it well. It happens specially when I'm drawing lots of edges before right clicking. And drawing edges on polygons (not over edges) works 1 of 10. 9 times it does something totally unpredictable.
The old split one is a little more reliable. What we though was a basic tool in XSI, was actually an awesomely good tool that Maya couldn't match until the mtk versions. Sadly, for us, Maya 2013 is still very used here. I've always modeled in Softimage before sending it to Maya but lately I'm trying to do it all in Maya. I wish Autodesk had killed Softimage when 2014 was the minimum standard version.
