I think that people that use this software invest a lot of time and money into it, sort of like they do their relationships or their children. Most use it every day. It's no wonder then that they develop a sort of affinity for it. As for most pro end software (and you pros will have to forgive me, but I've seen it time and again) is more a snobbery than a rabid devotion. Poser users, Daz users, Blender users are more or less pond scum to some of the people that were lucky enough to have the funds, the talent and the time to have one of the big boys ;) Didn't go to school for 3D? Tsk, tsk. Go crawl back under your rock ;).

Me? I don't give a rat's petutie what you use as long as it gets the job done or the amount of schooling thereof ;).
