Seems like a lot of negativity in this thread already and R19 hasn't even released yet. I Personally won't be getting R19, but that's due to only getting R18 fairly recently, having skipped R17, So i probably won't upgrade again till R20. I understand People's frustrations, But literally every time someone makes one of these threads it ends up turning into a bash MAXON frenzy. If you've transitioned to another software package, Good for you, but maybe it's time you moved on to said softwares forums, rather than lingering around here. I'm all for healthy discussion/debate but let's be honest it's getting a tad silly now.
