Pie menus or Marking Menus as they are called in Autodesk Maya are a real game changer in terms of workflow. They are such a quick way to interact with the application, that I wish that they were able to have marking menus everywhere as Photoshop, After Effects… virtually everything could benefit from some sort of Marking Menu. Unfortunately, (or fortunately depending on how you look at it) Autodesk owns the patent on pie and marking menus from way way back (1995-97), so the chances of seeing elsewhere are slim.
