...maybe one of the facts is that its still used in many vfx houses, which there seem to be a lot of shake artist who have not made the transition to something like nuke, fusion etc. Its still a very powerful application even though the support is none.
paint node, one big advantage for me

Shake is essentially a dead program ever since Apple stopped development on it. However, there are still some houses out there that use it. But I've found that the majority of houses now use either just their own home grown software, Nuke, or Fusion. With the obvious addition of Flint, Flame, and Combustion.
Shake really seems to be fading away fast.
Shake's paint is horrible! I still use it, admittedly, but it's still not a nice thing to use.
doug: depends where you are. Here in London, most places still very definitely use shake, although a lot are either investigating nuke or have done a lot of their own development of shake
Some companies are finding it hard to find enough nuke artists to fully switch over from Shake. That and they've invested alot in setting up shake pipes and it still does the job.

There are 3 advantages to knowing shake.
1) It is now CHEAP! (I remember when it was $10,000) $500 for a fully professional compositor is very very appealing.
2) There are so many shake artists and shops that has relied on shake since before apple destroyed it, some are finding it hard to move forward
3) A lot of bigger shops I've talked to that use a proprietary comper have said if you know shake you can learn ours easily.
what is different between combustion 4 and 2008, very poor update but combustion still using, so i think shake will use also because it works perfect and don't need to update, my friends very happy with shake, they know also shake sdk and if they want something, they do it.
ummm, I don't know about works perfect....I would say....ummmm, not even close.
Well that is of course if you are into the slowest application ever created (on mac I mean)
yes, it has a lot of bug but my friends still using it, they can do what they want, and i tihnk v41 is not old technology, just a bit slow renderer.
well i use it almost everyday and it is nowhere near perfect.
Shake's biggest advantage at this point is most likely its price (for OSX). Shake is alot of firepower for the price IMHO.
