I agree that FADAL is a better machine mechanically, but not control wise, when compared to Haas. I also think that SVL has made a very valid point about better parts availability from other sources for FADAL's than the limited choice one has with Haas. (Limited as in very limited.)

Haas may end up making more money on replacement parts then they ever will selling machines

I'm criticizing SaladWorks for a marketing and development strategy that is totally focused on trying to be more AutoCAD like.

I don't believe a CAD/CAM company can build a seamless, unified, hybrid modeler in a timely manner utilizing this approach.

I think VX should continue to do *exactly what they are now doing* with the approach they have taken to improve VX's UI.

While this is happening I think VX should try and become the best documented CAD/CAM program on the market by utilizing someone who is already in their organization who I believe can (possibly with some help) create very advanced tutorials on how to extract the awesome hybrid power that VX has.

If VX does the above the sales will happen.

Copying Autodesk is not the right move for VX and I think VX knows this.
