ok this is my final answer

#start python code
import win32com.client
from win32com.client import constants as xsiconst

Application.GetPrim("Circle", "", "", "")
implicitColl = Application.ActiveSceneRoot.FindChildren("*","",xsiconst.siImplicitGeometryFamily)
Application.Logmessage(implicitColl(0).Name)
#end python code

Quick, using the sdk docs, figure out how to determine whether an object is an implicit.
That's the kind of thing some people find frustrating about the sdk.

I can't help but feel there is some truth to what Halfdan is saying.  Much of it comes down to who you ask.  Doug Kreel (who wrote XSIMAN) didn't seem to share this opinion.

It's not like Moritz didn't have access to the Softimage team to vent his frustrations.  If he didn't communicate his issues to Softimage, then he wasn't making life any easier for himself.  I suspect that Mortiz doesn't have many glowing comments about Maya's API either.

I'm curious too. To my knowledge, Moritz never told us much either.

I always just got the feeling from him that since it wasn't the Maya API, it was automatically bad. Maybe someone from RSP could elaborate?

I'm just curious; what's so bad about XSI's API?
