Another thing that would make this even better is that it looks to me 
like Blender is just constantly struggling to keep up or catch up with 
the others. Blender could set the comnu a blaze if it were to bring out 
a tool that no one else has at all for free.

Like Zbrush has the clay modeling down pretty tight with the power of 5 
million pixels to model with.
Silo has the draw topology to make a clean mesh.
And other programs have more modeling tools. Blenders are fine but we 
just barley got face selection power.

If Blender had super fast compositing and scene setup and rendering 
that would make the tools work very well together instead of trying to 
be a end all big tool .
