I guess I don't really see fandom as a "good point" for using a piece of software?

"Master it by understanding there is no other software that can give you the ease you require."

One could say the same thing about XSI or Maya,
"Master it by understanding there are no other software out there as complex, feature-rich, or powerful."

"Patience is what you need."
Isn't this true of any software package?

I still think C4D is a wonderful middle-ground to head towards, Faraway.  Can't wait to see what you can do with it!
