I think your advice is off base. Hexagon is a great polygonal modeler, very fast and easy to use. The fast extrude feature, dynamic geometry, line tools, surface tools, symmetry modeling, and universal manipulator all work well. The new displacement painting works really well. That alone is well worth the money. In a month  or  two,  they'll have a FREE patch to fix bugs with painting or whatever.  I've used Hex for hours without any problems. It also has an incremental save feature, great for saving at different stages of your model. After the patch, the price goes back up to $250 or so.  Someone who wants to model, displace, and 3D paint could buy it now and wait for the patch. Then they wouldn't have to "waste" time and do any "free debugging" and they would have a great program for almost nothing. Or, they could buy Z-Brush, BodyPaint, and Modo and do the same thing for maybe what? $1,500 or $2,000. Sounds like you're the one with the "partially baked cake".
