my “personal” opinion:

I hate it and the steering wheel...so it’s OFF.

Intel i7 930 2.8Ghz 8 CORE HT / CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Plus (no OC yet!)
Nvidia EVGA GTX 260 v296.10 driver (Nitrous in max) / Dual Dell Professional P2311H 23” Displays
ASUS P6X58D-E / Corsair Dominator 12GB 1600 DDR3 / Antec tp750 blue / Antec 300 Illusion
Windows 7 Pro x64 SP1
3ds max design 2012 x64 SP2 (since the 1st DOS version!), Mudbox 2012 x64 SP3, Softimage 2012 x64 SP1, Maya 2012 x64 HF2, Adobe CS5.5 x64, CorelDRAW x5 SP3, Painter 12, etc etc
Wacom Intuos4 v6.2.0w5 / 3DConnexion Space Navigator (drv6.15.2)/ Logitech Performance MX mouse (5.33.14)

I completely don’t mind them EXCEPT, why are they in every viewport? I would use them in my perspective viewport but everywhere else they just get in the way.

If something work in one software with one user base it’s does not necessary work on the other
software package although they may do the same stuff because it may complicate workflow of
future artist who learn 3dsmax in a different way. We need consistency as much as possible to
keep the fast moving industry efficiency not new gimmick to play with. We dont need to look more
and more like other software… buts yes if there is something that could greatly improve workflow
it should be implimented.

The viewcube comes with Maya 2008, and I HATE it.  It gets so annoying, I hit it all the time on accident, and it is a waste of space on the screen.  The old one was better, it had orthographic and what-not views.  So mine is OFF!

now that;s interesting to know it’s didn’t work for the maya user as well, so the icon is too big, did you guys have a dial where you could dial
down the size?

i watched the same discussion over in Maya 2008 forums long before “ViewJunk™” for Max 2009 was released.
Same discussions - same conclusions -> for some people usefull sometimes, needles and unwanted by the majority
It’s more a tool for ADESK’s sales people to enable them to demonstrate the tools they are selling without having actually “indepth knowledge” :-)
