Well, great topic and a clean and nice way to start off such a topic. I like what I have seen from many programs, such as Lightwave and Maya and others But I have grown up with 3Dstudio from its beginning, and I'm also a usual AutoCAD user, but I found a gret tool for me to design and creat concepts and product design is RHINO. I create all of my modeling with Rhino's Nurbs, I just love the control the software has and leaves room for some artistic control over surfaces. Like I said I use AutoCAD for some years for my living so Rhino just seemed to perfect, when I first opened the program I knew it was for me. The tools for rotating and moving and the good old handy Command line, gotta love typing in my commands just like AutoCAD. But Rhino looses out when it comes to Rendering, so I hop into 3Dstudio MAX 5 and import my model From Rhino using a nurbs IGES files. And so this is why I use what I use. And it works for me really well.
