While it is still missing a few tools, I find Silo indispensable, it is a straightforward modeler with a real nice tool set. I own C4d and Lightwave, and more and more I am reaching for Silo. having those other programs I am not concerned with materials or rendering features, and personally I would rather Nevercenter spend the time on the new modeling tools, like the Topology Brush which is coming out in 1.3, I would pay $109 just for that tool!
