From what I have been read around the net, many of the Max and Maya users are now modeling in Modo. Then go back and rig in thier main apps. Iron man was modeled in Modo, then IIRC rigged in Max and rendere in Lightwave. There is a story about it at Luxology. Many of the big studios are using it for thier modeling now along side thier main apps.
The UI is completely adjustable. You can set defaults of many of your other apps or make your own up.
Oh cool! (about setting defaults) I think I might have a trial for modo on my hard drive somewhere I'll have to look for it. My son purchased Max for me as a gift so I cant complain (I actually picked it out but I sure didn't know what I was in for) But I've had it for two years now and have not even scratched the surface of all the stuff to learn, it's incomprehensibly huge! And I have Zbrush, I really like Zbrush though, easy for me to use.
Sorry I'm going off on tangents again.
