Yeah, I think I remember you, I was always having to rebuild the machines because you were installing spyware on them...

Anyways. 3DS MAx is still used by many different studios and pretty much most major companies will let you choose while some smaller ones will restrict you to one or the other.
The thing is that now that Discreet owns both Maya, 3DS MAX and Autocad 3D you can create whatever you want in either and import into each other and pretty much most of the major 3D platforms out there.

Yeah, cross-compatibility is the key to having a choice of programs. If the company is using one platform, and you do all your work in another, it doesn't do them any good if your output can't be imported, or at least be converted to be imported, to work with their projects. As long as you can do that, it really SHOULDN'T matter which program you want to use.... although I imagine software licensing could be an issue, especially for smaller companies (if they have a site license for one package, they may not want to shell out for a license for something else, just for one person).
