Yeah I have to agree it looks like they are setting a good foundation for future improvement to maya. So I will cut them some slack for not adding a great deal to the modeling tool set. Hopefully they will begin adding improvements to the modeling tools in upcoming releases.

I'll be upgrading just for the better view port 2.0 and qt UI.

Although I hope I have the ability to go back to the light grey background. Some may like the gradient blue one but I have to tell you I find it very distracting. I am nearly 50 and can see like an eagle, six months of using that blue gradient thing and I would be blind as a bat!

I am not sure I like the dark grey gui either. But I am assuming there will be a way to change that back to the light grey as well.
