I had a chat with Moritz at Siggraph. The quoted sentence is an understatement.

i was looking at the affogato page...

and wow does Moritz dislike XSI or what!?

"Affogato was mainly written by Moritz Mœller over a period of four months.
During which namely person experienced the pain of the worst documented and
mediocrely designed API south of the north pole. And I'm not talking about
the RenderMan interface. Amen!"

it's sad because i would think softimage devs are happy that such cool stuff
is being done with XSI, but by someone that loaths the core of the software

 either way, affogato, XSIMan, etc are welcome!
