Hi Shuting, Nice to chat again. :) The biggest thing for me is the ability to be able to have an attribute editor like the PPG's we have now to edit multiple object's parameters at the same time. Not only that, but simply having an AE open then selecting a new object and having it update with the new object's values which can be editable saves tons of time. It's one window you have open at all times and you know where it is. Changing selection will update that window and you don't have to open another window just to get back to the same parameters.
Outliner needs more filtering like the Softimage explorer. Sometimes I want to see just objects, sometimes I want to show properties, then show parameters. I want to be able to easily and quickly change filters from a drop down list. One thing that doesn't get mentioned much is the transient explorer view. Hitting F3 in Softimage (when there is no Synoptic or Annotation property on the selected object) pops up a temporary window that show the selected objects and its properties / params to easily select / open a PPG from. This I think is an essential tool when working in ICE. It will probably become more obvious when bifrost is going to be expanded for other purposes. Thats all I have for now.
