"ut I prefer RS3D for its clean 'mathematical' feel that distinguishes it from, say, Blender."
Have you recently tried BLENDER 2.5?? New UI .. and so on. My argument for Blender, because it is FREE, it can be used ALONGSIDE the likes of RS to access features that RS does not nor will probably NOT have for a good while ( if at all ). I stopped RS Upgr at 5, to be honest it will take a massive over haul before I will put more upgrade money into it. Currently I use MODO 4 ( 5 on way ), blender 2.5, bit of Zbrush and doodle with FREE Sculptris. OK - some use RS because their toolset requirements are "narrow". And these people will hear nothing said about RS, its fine for them. But the world is a big place with many 3D users who need other things. These ex RS users had to go elsewhere - what more can one expect. Its a very narrow view to have saying that RS does me fine so sod the rest of ye. I like it the way it is FOR ME ME ME. If thats what RS dev team want then all the best, good luck and thanks for all the fish, thats no market!
