""""""so i would switch between shaded (like what moi has) and then wireframe (which i can't seem to find in moi)."""""""""""""

That can be done in MoI's scene browser under types. Use the eye to hide "Faces"... (I think there's a script already written for a shortcut)

But really, that's an old artifact of Rhino's display system not being up to the task on heavier models, so they even made it default to that.

I guess at some point it becomes a "Feature" for some users, expecting it...

MoI can handle those situations "Better" (Opinion).... Best served to look\research, ask about those, than cling to old way...
(Obviously take that with a grain of salt and work how you like. Not a dig on how anybody works it).....
