So? Go over to CGSociety and say you use Carrara, or Amapi, or Animation Master, or even C4d --or basically anything that isn't the "big three"-- and you'll get laughed at. And go in there as a Maya user and you'll still get attacked by the "XSI is Godly" crowd (and vice-versa). So when in this conversation did anyone suggest using Bryce exclusively? I think every post that mentions it, mentions it as A) a possible entry point for someone who has never done 3d before; and B) a potential part of a larger "suite" of artistic tools. Plus one does have to widen the conversation. A great many people that might find a use for Bryce are not professional 3d artists nor do they ever intend to be. There are commercial artists using Bryce the same way they use photo libraries; as a quick way to rough in an image to be painted in detail later. The career path to professional modeller is not the only task undertaken in 3d.
