Because it takes time and resources. It is not that you come here, post wish and tomorrow it has been granted.. How old are you ppl? It is in process and sometime it takes few releases to do it. Especially in app like Houdini which is dominantly oriented towards VfX. Why MODO does not have such powerfull vfx tools like Houdini?

I've said this in another thread, but was shut down for my apparent blasphemy:
Houdini needs an optional update function.
With optional I mean that the daily builds should still be available, but instead of pulling and installing the whole installer you should be able to just pull the updates within Houdini.
The bandwidth that could be saved is only growing. The time that could be saved on installs is only growing. The technological foundation existed for ages. So the only reason not to do it, is the effort that goes into developing the update system. Should be worth it in the long run, though.

Recently I saw one promo of modo. As I know now modo has some really cool features like pattern selection and translating, rotating, scaling each component at their own local space. I think they give more flexibility and power when it comes to modeling. How do you think? Would be great if houdini had these features.

Thats on reason why a lot of Artists use a second package. Maya is here the first choice.

Use the combo Facet + Primitive + Fuse SOP

I don't think that's possible at the moment. I've submitted a RFE for this though (#72992).
