It's not binary. There's always 5 POV's -- I just used the two most opposed to illustrate the point more accurately. The inscrutability of the interface is a variable but nevertheless falls into the realm of ease of use when reduction is applied. Interface is an area where folks have too much invested to go into with any depth -- what works for some will fail miserably for others. Furthermore, comparing Poser to other applications outside it's purview is a losing proposition -- but one that will exist indefintely, again because it occupies a middle ground. While all applications can indefinitely use improvement (I have yet to find one that meets every need of all it's users -- but then, if it did, it would do everything, lol), it's still a matter of learning to use the tool as it is. But that's off topic. And thanks for the kind words :)

thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
