What happened with Poser 5, in my mind, is that they tried to do too much and answer too many of the community demands. Instead of focusing on a few things that Poser 5 would do really well (the dynamic clothing, for example, and material room), they tried to make it do everything. Listening to the community is all very well and fine but no two of us want the same thing and it is the road to madness to try to meet everyone's needs. I like Poser 5. I rarely use Poser 4 now. I don't use all the features (never could get the hang of dynamic hair), but I think it has a lot of advantages. When Poser 6 comes out, I'll probably give it a chance. I don't expect it to make me into an artist nor do I think the cure for cancer will be hidden within its program, but I am hoping for some refinements and additions that will keep me happily busy. I've set my expectations much lower than the pre-Poser 5 nonsense.
