The copy and paste is pretty bad. Haven't done it in years because of the PTSD, but I remembered it would put "__pasted__" on the names of the objects that were pasted over, assuming you wanted to do that in the first place.
It's not a finely-tuned generalist tool like Softimage is out of the box. And before, you could forgive it's shortcomings because in the Motif UI days, it was ugly, but stupid fast. Hotbox, plus marking menus, plus hotkeys made you fast. Now the UI lag pretty much sapped the joy from those UI features. Maya has had a tough time adapting to the times. I see other developers more in-tuned with the day to day tasks of production and developing tools that help artists get through their day. Not sure why ADSK can't move the needle in a meaningful way when it comes to Maya releases. I feel like they should go and buy new computers, install maya out of the box, and try to put together a 3 min short film. The pitfalls would be pretty obvious imo. peace, -Lu
