The fix for the rendertree nodes disappearing has been asked for since I started using XSI at v3. Perhaps this is something that CAN'T be fixed without breaking a ton of other stuff? Soft usually listens and attends to user requests like this fairly quickly, especially when they are asked for as much as this one has been. The silence from the devs on the issue leads me to think it's a bit tougher to fix then what we'd all like to think. But then again, the Soft devs are always all ninja and busting out feature packed releases out of nowhere. Maybe they just don't have the time to fix something they consider not that major of a bug just yet?

I'm mostly speaking about functionality.  Look isn't as important but its just icing on the cake at this point.  The biggest issue IMO is the whole node disappearing thing...that really needs to be sorted out.  But it would be nice to have the option to do everything horizontally or vertically at least.

I totally disagree.  Sorry, but I don't see any advantage in making them the same. :/

I definitely agree about nodes being zapped from the rendertree though.

One thing I'd really like to see to complement the FXtree is the old media illusion reels facility.  Seeing as we have half of illusion already implemented, why leave that out? ;)
