I am not very fond of character studio because of the lack of Euler curves support (at least that was on MAX 6, I haven't used 7 or 8 yet). This made me very difficult to edit the fcurves in the graph editor. Are you even able to edit the tangents of the fcurves using handles? I can't find a way to do it.
