pixologic is next ... I bet! I love autodesk, since they bought maya, nobody has to get a new version. They are all the same... They allways include just a few features in every release and they are always broken and get fixed a version later.
Not only that, but if company X hires an engineer to make a feature change, including a bug fix, they own the change and can decide whether or not that goes into the common code base. YES. You can pay for a bugfix and then prevent it being a bugfix to anyone but yourself.
