3dsmax has instancing of meshes and modifiers, they're great and very helpful. In what way do you think it's lacking or needs to be implemented in a different way? I'm kind of confused how you expect it to act "better". I've used it daily for over a decade, it rarely crashes unless I do something nutty like grab a slider…
