Plasticity is the only one that started out by blatantly plagiarizing my work.

From 2006:

"MoI (Moment of Inspiration) is a new 3D modeling/CAD program for designers and artists."


Or check out https://github.com/nkallen/elephant/releases/tag/v0.1-alpha where the entirety of MoI's UI and script commands were copied and forked as if it was an open source project.

They are not minor issues!!!!!

That drawing a circle is gross is not a minor issue!

These are the things that make the UX, not having stylish looking icons.

Yet there are so many people who are like "Ooooo sweet looking icons, I like how they all look like the same indecipherable blobs of monochrome lumps. A+++++!! Oh geez look at those icons, not monochrome, lame."

There are plenty of places that cover the good stuff (which is primarily that it is cheap).

There is not much covering the bad stuff, people are somehow scared to write their opinions publicly if it differs from the "influencer" horde.
