I also find it kind of funny that you don't like the workflow in Carrara when the workflow in trueSpace is now very similar. trueSpace now has a 2 room workflow going on (workSpace/model tabs).

You don't need to use model tab, unless you want access to legacy features. TS 7.5 is nothing like Carrara as everything is modal, and the interface is totally customisable. Even the model room (which you don't absolutely need) has a bridge to the workspace which works in realtime.
You are entitled to your opinions about TS's interface, but this comment was a bit mischievous. It will be interesting whether Carrara keeps the rooms thing in it's next release, or adopts are more flexible approach. Maybe if it changes I'll have another look at it.

And in fairness, DAZ does have public feedback. They just don't say much. Ringo comes into just about every Carrara forum in existence in order to assure people Carrara is still being worked on.

The truespace forums often have dev's answering technical questions. Roman has a blog which provides a decent roadmap for the future, although as you suggest maybe not enough for pickier users. You can't compare their support with daz's, where Ringo basically does what he can with little thanks most of the time. TS users are also amazingly helpful, and knowledgable. It's like having an on-line classroom.
Shade, which is currently my other favourite 3d app, would be far more usable if it had this kind of backup although Shade users are also really good. Keep in mind that us poor Shade users still haven't had an announcement on Shade 9 even though it was released in Japan six months ago.
I think if Caligari are touchy (not something I've noticed) maybe it's because of the incessant sniping by a minority of it's users over the years.
In fairness to all these companies, they are businesses in an extremely competitive arena, and would be under a lot of pressure to keep secrets that involve their bottom line.
@Ron Jourman - You are wise, but I think it's pretty easy to judge TS 7.5 right now, if you've actually taken the time to use it. I've been going hard for two weeks and I haven't even scratched the surface. It's great fun.
