It's not offensive, it's just an old, I guess argument isn't the right word, it's just that some of the back-and-forths on this topic in the past have gone on an on, and with extreme rancor, beating the proverbial dead horse until it's just annunrecognizable smush. So I admit that i, for one, tend tor eact badly when it loos like that poor dead horse might be resurrected again.
I personally do think, though, that it'd be interesting and useful to see some solid comparisons between other programs and tS. If nothing else, it would establish some known paramaters/limitations for people to evaluate and work with. I do also think that, if Caligari could manage a subdivision structure, i.e. with something like trueModeler (or whatever one would call the older, student-priced versions), trueSpace (current trueSpace, with continuing development) and a "super-duper" version geared towards the film and other intensive-use industries (trueVision, truePower, whatever), they'd be in a unique position.
As I see it, what people fear, with all the talk of going high-end, is the possibility of affordable trueSpace versions disappearing in favor of $30,000 program-plus-plugins setups.
