Rhino is another good example. There's about 4 programmers involved in daily discussions. If you get in a jam, post a request, often one of their programmers will write a new script for you on the same day. Bob McNeel also responds personally to topics. He was on the forums today...

That's the truth. I bought it a few weeks ago, so i've been watching their forums. Modo puts on the appearance of having a large user base. But in truth, it is quite small. Due to it's high price, the pro to hobbyist ratio is quite tilted towards pro modelers when compared to other apps. This gives them high profile by recognized artists. Add that to Luxology's clever marketing staff, and Modo seems to have a larger user base than it really does. It is a nice program. But at this moment it won't be your main program (unless you don't need animating or rigging tools)...
