Ugh… I don’t know if McNeel knows how big of a problem this whole toolbar/workspace crisis is. Let me explain why I think so:
- I’m not even touching V8 until I can have my tools in there.
- there’s no reason for me to use default V8, or any default Rhino because it would slow me down sooooo much. I think I would model faster in my custom V4 than on default V8. So I launch V8 WIP for 5-10 minutes at a time to check a new tool, but that’s about it. SO I’m not seeing the rough edges, which based on the trajectory of McNeel development, I’m sure there are tons of them.
So if they plannd to strategically leave power/advanced users out of the WIP feedback cycle, McNeel is doing an excellent job because that’s what’s happening right now IMO.
But if this is not what they want, I think their prioritization is all wrong, and all development should be reprioritized to make something usable for customization ASAP. Not because of the 1% of users who want to customize their tools is a relevant market, but rather because they are shunning most of us, and they will only get feedback by newbies, or advanced users trying things thing out in a playground-like setting: basic geometry for a quick test, not the real/complex/working/production files we all use.
Thx,
