Dude, Shake is used everywhere. It is _the_ film level compositor and
woven into most film comping pipelines worldwide. That's a fact.
Shake's interface is absolutely not a mess in fact it is extremely
intuitive. In fact Nuke 5 is almost a carbon copy and that's still in
beta. It doesn't matter at all that Shake is EOLed as it will live on
for years in the film compositing field.

Crashes? I've had about 1 in 18 months. As for speed I completely
disagree. If you are having speed issues your workflow might need
adjusting. It is not exactly surprising that it doesn't have rla and
rpf support as...er nobody uses them anyway. Motion is not a compositor
it is a motion graphics app for FCS.

You obviously have a choice to use something else.

Have you ever used Color? It works like a dream here. What doesn't work?
