In a nutshell:
Nuke was Digital Domain's inhouse software for 13 or so years.
Last year Digital Domain and The Foundry were acquired by the same investment group and development of the software was shifted to London (just about quadrupling the amount of programmers working on it).

More and more companies are getting Nuke seats these days and it kinda looks like it has become the obvious choice for a lot of vfx companies.

Get yourself an evaluation license from the foundry have a play for yourself and see what you think. there is also a lot of demo material you can download on their webpage.

cheers,

If you find Nuke to your liking then should consider heading over to fxhpd.com. They've just run two courses on Nuke which were excellent. I know that Gnomon have done some courses for it as well (I haven't looked at those however).

I've gone through the Gnomon courses for Nuke and found them to be very good. I come from an AE and Fusion background, and found that Nuke was a very easy transition. I'm sure the Foundry will give you a temp license if you ask. It does appear that more and more people are buying Nuke too, so that's good;)
