I'm a bit torn on this one. I do agree Studio needs more work but it's also the only tool that will open FBX files for me. Create mode throws an error whenever I try and the weird thing is it doesn't matter how I export and other people can open the files I export just fine.
Studio also allows me to use modern versions of SketchUP since they can export FBX files. Though I must admit, I do prefer the meshout plugin over FBX (mainly do scaling issues) but it was abandoned by the developer many years ago and I have neither the time nor expertise to re write it.
Also, as someone who's had a lot of experience with Create Mode's code, and IMVU's code in general, I can see why they chose not to update Create Mode. That would have been more work than starting over with Studio. I believe they're also trying to switch to more cross platform technologies. Which technically the classic client does use (python, html, js, css), a nodejs app that just calls apis is much easier to maintain. Though admittedly I'm not a fan of nodejs or the push to write desktop applications with JS or really JS in general, lol.
Anyway, seeing updates to create mode would be nice but I can understand the many reasons they were moving away from it.
