Pedifile?
Is that a secretary for a podiatrist?

Isn't a pedifile that thing they use in Nail Salons for smoothing out the big toe nail? Zippy, why would anyone want to spend time finding your trailer and as a result having to hear your inebriated mama yelling at you to take out the garbage????

Going back to the topic at hand--
I'm curious, what can you do in Combustion that cannot be accomplished in AE? Other than the whole Particle Illusion 2.0 integration (evidently they didn't want to put PI3 in Combustion-- damn!), and a tight integration with 3dsmax (and I use Lightwave instead), I'm hard pressed to see much of a difference.
However, that being said, I would LOVE for someone to change my mind! I've had AE for a while now & find certain things (it is SOOOOO badly laid out, even running dual monitors) cumbersome. And, since the educational discount is so tempting (gotta love college), someone PLEASE tell me what I'm missing!

I would say the interface is a big plus compared to AE it is very streamlined though it can be tricky at times though. I would try the demo to see if it fit's you some people prefer AE and some prefer C* you stated you have used AE for awhile so that may be kind of difficult like coming from Premire to Vegas if you are familiar with something.
The demo is here
and here is a feature list
I would say the keyer is better also version 3 comes with RE:Flex morphing plugin which retail's for $600 by it self. Multi-view port's so you can animate in one and see the result's in the overall composite in another. Also the schematic view is awesome though I still haven't learned it all it allows you to move the output of one effect into another effect chain graphicly for some really cool effects. This isn't just a toy schematic this is what they use in Inferno and smoke really powerful stuff.
I would not say that Combustion is way better it may not seem as intuitive as AE for you it really is about how you work.
I tried most of the major Compositing Apps before I decided on C*, I really liked the way Red integrated with Vegas, liked that AE had so many native plugins, tried Commotion for it's tracking but in the end I decided on Combustion.
