Vue continues to drive me NUTS. It is piggishly slow on my P4 2.8GHz machine with 1.5GB of RAM and Radeon 9800 video card. But that's not the worst of it. Oh no.
Vue allows you to place all kinds of plants and trees and rocks and houses and what have you in your scenes. Click on the TREE button and you'll see all the species of trees show in this screen shot. And that seems great, but ... it turns out you don't actually have all those trees, or most of those trees, or even half of those trees. Only the top two rows of trees are actually accessible; click on anything below that and you're taken to the 'online store' where you get the opportunity to buy that species of tree.
What the fuck is that about? This is outrageous! The 'for sale' trees aren't even visually identifiable. You have to click on them before Vue tells you that you can't have them.
Some categories are worse; some don't have any accessible items at all, just row after row of objects for sale. I have no objection to offering additional online content, but the way e-on is doing it in Vue is unmitigated horse shit! And the actual selection of objects actually included with the software is insultingly small.
Glad I got that off my chest. I'll end with a pretty picture of a maple, one of the few trees Vue actually ships with. Enjoy!

If you click the little ghost icon that is at the bottom of the list you'll never see the Cornucopia items again. I'm no fan of the listing but this was the most asked for feature in a survey of users a couple of years back so e-on listened to the user base and added it.
