Ya, has nothing to do with vanity or what famous name software I use. Sorry you don't get this. Has everything to do with quality and features. The point you seem to be missing.

I like carrara for many reasons, just one of which is it's ease in using the rather large; fricken up to 120gig, of content I have. Another reason I use it is because I feel quite comfortable with the interface; as opposed to Maya, Houdinin, or Blender.

I drive a Jeep because it's the best all around vehical for the rural area I live in. It's comfortable, easy to drive and gets me where I want to go regardless of weather conditions or road condidtions. I use carrara for similar reasons, it's easy to drive, gets me there with little trouble, does what I need it to do, and feels comfortable.

Yes it needs work, yes it can be a pain at times, yes some of the features don't work as advertised; and why I was on DAZs back constently while I was on the DAZ carrara forum. Unlike my Jeep I can't fix the issues with carrara myself.

The key word for any and all application use is comfort of use.
