All in all every other single option is missing some key areas and they are all years away from catching with softimage. One thing that will probably affect more and more ppl is support for 4K monitors. SI doesn't go hand in hand with windows DPI scaling meaning that it needs to be used at scale ration of 100%, which even on 32 inch monitor is starting to get a bit small. I assume all other programs will deal with that sooner or later but Si will be left behind. Still even with that it is smaller pain in the ass compared everything else missing in all other potential programs. Also along with fact that studios wont be likely to go and provide bunch of 4K monitors to artists.. ;)
But SI+Redshift truly is combo for the win, not windows but WIN :)
