Some loves it, some hates it. Personally I dislike Max 4 which is the only flavour
I've used. It uses memory appallingly, crashes
frequently and personally I hate the material editor. Generally to me it feels like a
collection of bits loosely connected together
without much thought and is consequently shaky. I hate the renderer and its ray tracer
is rubbish.

But in the end it's down to taste and suitability for the job. I've used all the big
packages at one time or another and they all
have their good and bad bits. Nowdays I use Povray. It's free, yes it's slow and is
script based but if you take even a little time
to learn it, there is nothing that it can't do as well as any of the very expensive
big brothers.
