"i made this in less then 30 minutes"
...not to question your talent, but this isn't exactly the best model to use for comparison between Anim8or and 3DS Max... It's basically just a bunch of boxes. You could probably build it just as fast with Anim8or. How about something more complex like a sportscar or the cooling fan from inside the computer.
I use Anim8or and 3DS MAX, and find they both have their pros and cons. I like Anim8or because it is portable, and in some cases more flexible when working with vertices and edges, but I use 3DS Max for the heavy duty modeling, especially if I need some boolean functionality. I usually create the basic model in Animor, and use Max for refining and final texturing and lighting.
I do think Anim8or handles background reference images better than Max. ...easier to manipulate and no loss of detail.
