Maya has nice tools now, but those things are on top of each other, it sacrifice stability, interaction, and the intuitive way of thinking for new "features", so i don't like that. I prefer Softimage for modeling, because it's robust, solid, stable and easy to handle. Maya does the same thing but the path it's long, with Softimage you'll take the shorter route.
