I do not know if D/S can replace Poser. It is no complete application, it will take quite a while to include and debug all the missing functions. Sure, OpenGL and a "normal" interface for a Poser-Style App is great, but I will not even concider spending money for it when it isn't rock stable. Poser 4 is still too buggy for me, not to speak about Poser 5, which i will buy if they get it stable.

DAZ Studio is neither ready nor stable. If it has the ability to replace Poser is a thing that only time will tell.
