aeilkema, you should read that link more carefully.

The answers posted to your questions came from someone moderating the forum, not a DAZ official spokesperson. That means all your issues with DAZ are based on a person's opinion. Yes, that person is affiliated with DAZ in the sense that they are a moderator on the forum, but they aren't an in-house employee, as far as I know. I believe they are just artists that became affiliated with DAZ and ended up being part of their moderator team when DAZ opened their forums.

As far as I can tell, the only true thing you have based your dislike of DAZ on is that you actually like Vue better than you like Poser, which is completely fair, but doesn't reflect on DAZ as a company one single bit. It only reflects on the product, which DAZ just bought and had nothing to do with past development. The rest appears to be information that you take meaning from and claim it as fact. That is a bit unfair.

You may want to contact DAZ and say that they lost a customer because of some comments by some of their forum moderators. If they validate all the comments, then you have good cause to shun DAZ and go another route completely. If they don't validate the comments, then I would think that you need to seriously consider whether you have a good reason to turn your back on them.

I understand that those that are looking for a Poser killer are disappointed in DAZ|Studio. It appears that it isn't a Poser killer. I don't see DAZ running ads where they say "Switch from Poser to DAZ|Studio and we'll give you $100 cash!"

For those that do want a Poser killer, guess you will have to wait and see what sort of add-ons appear for Studio in the future.

Anyway, write to DAZ. I'm sure all of us here are more interested in fact than the sort of information running rampant in forums.
