I'm spprised at your suprise.
Its as capable modeller as any other and huge in Japan. I think this is what puts people off it (japanese help!). There aren't perhaps as many options with the tools as wings, or for that matter C4d or Max (there are always other methods of getting your topology where needed) but in all honesty there is no shape I see or visualise that cannot be replicated.

Finally, and I presume others do the same thing, since discovring the world of 3d I now look at everything in the real world from it's topology and a general 'How would I make and texture that?' point of view. I don't know whether its been a good thing or bad!
