The fact that he said in the 3D world neither of these are relevent doesn't have anything to do with being elitist, but it does have a lot to do with knocking a pretty decent piece of software, that, with the proper use and care, can actually create a comparable scene with many of the higher priced apps around today.
Like I said, it's laughable, because instead of concentrating on his art, he feels the need to whine about valuable space been taken up by a magazine that has always shown a good balance with apps. I think we should all dig out our bestest Bryce scene and send it for inclusion into the magazines monthly gallery. That should shut him up.
