"I am just saying some people will give up if they don't make progress or things don't make sense to them."

Common problem in all aspects of life, not just 3D. People often fail at something because they don't try hard enough, then they pass the blame (in the case of 3D, onto the software). There's nothing inherently difficult about learning the high-end apps, there's just MORE to learn, and many people are too lazy to do the tutorials and read the manuals. Yet, some of these same folks will spend countless hours struggling to come up with "workarounds" to do things in low-end apps that they weren't originally designed to do... go figure. ;-)

" I am sure that there are some missing functions in any XSI products. For example plant dynamics or library to import in."

What do you mean by "plant dynamics"? If there's one thing XSI is good at, it's dynamic simulations (wind, gravity, collisions, etc). It's true, there aren't many (if any) plant libraries for it though. This is where programs like Vue are extremely handy to be sure. Vue does what it does, and does a good job of it.
