My P5 waits patiently at CP for me to have time to d/l it and try out, but I won't abandon ProPack. It has very simple material dialog which usually allows me to make what I have in mind without all the mess with nodes (although I'll happily try them out in future). As for the incompatible products - the only stuff really incompatible is dynamic stuff and materials/shaders. Everything else may look worse but still works fine under  this ancient app. I've even forced P6-targeted CP Chinese Dragon to work for me, so mostly (not always but mostly) it's just a matter of patience and knowledge of your tool of choice ;) Technology is good, but sometimes something simple is far more better even if it's outdated.
