After a long long time, I just paid a visit to the "previous application" forum.
I was surprised to find the same team of heavy users discussing very similar bugs and issues, suggesting interface improvements, complaining about bad rendering and model to sheet...

I couldn't resist to pick-up extracts of two posts from "V8 SPI suggestions" thread :

[I]>>>> " Things have been going downhill since Tim left."
>>>> " Speaking of Tim, check out Shark FX from Punch Software.
It's less than half the price of Cobalt, is a very complete
package and Tim's team does a great job of timely
addressing issues raised by forum members."
Tim, our uphill Guru, please, hear what they say and consider our most recent prayers.

More to the point, if improvements must be made, the desire and incentive to make this happen MUST come from the developers, Tim and Punch, and not just from the users alone. Otherwise some of us may just migrate to another, rather 'horny' competitor that is currently in beta form. ;)
