Hey John,
Your DAG assessment may be a bit too simplified. :P
For your "Group" comment....
If you think the cleverness is so abusive, then why did Softimage put in
the "Transform Group" object which is exactly like a Maya group? It's a
transform with no icon.
Graph Editor....
Well like in Softimage you can edit more than just fcurves for
animation. You can edit fcurves that are driving things WHEN they are
animated.
Lastly, try talking to any long time Maya user and suggest a name change
to anything in Maya. After a full 2-3 days of arguing through an email
thread, you'll hopefully waive the white flag and continue on with your
life.
