FINALLY something that makes everything accessible like in Maya! I felt dreaded when I left Maya because of the better tools, but it lacked the axis-based mirroring for painting and vertex editing and A PIE MENU THAT WAS EFFICIENT! Thank you! I can now animate super fast like I did in Maya.
I'm not sure if it's because I'm using macOS, but the W shortcut didn't work; I had to set it to CTRL + W. Additionally, its behavior is a bit "inconsistent": sometimes it doesn't open, and you need to click on the screen again before trying to open it. These issues are probably specific to macOS users. Despite that, I highly recommend this add-on to everyone, as it is excellent!
