Raffaele, this comment was a bit offensive.
I'm on the early access list and I've logged quite a few bugs :-).
I've also logged many suggestions and inquiries.

Yes, but I don't see how it is years ahead of Maya's hypershade.

I agree, the concept behind RV is very powerful, but I have seen something
like that done at Calibre Digital with MEL in Maya. Remember that the whole
Maya interface is written in MEL, including all the editors.
Anyway, the 4.0 is an amazing upgrade. I think SI should be very proud of
its employees and although I feel a need to defend Maya a bit, because it is
a great package, for workflow and scripting/programming I would take XSI any
time.
Kind regards,
Luke
