I don't think it's hate..I think it's personal preference. I have both & prefer Vue for various reasons. In fact if Daz doesn't bring Bryce up to speed so to speak, I'll probably dump it. Not because I hate it, I just prefer it. The interface suits me better, it's more windows oriented & that's what I'm used to in all my apps. I do think Brycers are more loyal though and I think that this is confused with "hate"...I am not loyal to ANY software...For example if E-ON/Curious Labs/Jasc-Corel etc decided to put the software in limbo..I'll move on, I'm not a patient women ;) LOL. If I can afford it I like the newest & latest. This IMHO causes me less work & frustration down the road. Again MY personal preference.
