Autodesk Maya

Let’s get straight to the point.

The GUI is absolutely atrocious. It’s a throwback to the mid 1990′s in terms of both looks AND functionality. It doesn’t seamlessly integrate into the operating system you’re using, be it Windows or MacOS X.

I hope to god that Adobe buys Autodesk so they can fix up this moronic interface. Why can’t I dock and tab windows? The multi-monitor support is no less than crap too. How come Output (which is a useless window to me) is the only (besides the main window of course) window that shows up on the taskbars?

Hypershade is a mess. A mess of lines, that is. Why can’t they show the input/output names on the nodes like every other flowchart interface does?

Where are the modifiers like in 3DS Max? I want to apply non-destructive effects to my models, like greeble and such.

There is no easy way to set grid size. I ‘block’ out the basic shapes with snapping turned on, and as I get to the details, it’s hard to work with because my grid size is too big.

Any tool that snaps to lines/edges is a pain. Why can’t it snap to the middle point of a line/edge?
