I use D|S exclusivly now, and its still a beta app.It's far more stable and useable than P5 and its free which is very nice.D|S has increased my productivity and creativity in my work.I also use it for all the same reasons and features Westonmi listed too.I have had nothing but misery using P5 so I am happy to be free of it.Magnets are a throw back to Poser 2 and an antique I have no need for them so no loss there.I have found I can live happily without the material room, dynalic cloth and hair too. D|S gives us a choice in what app to use , which we didnt have before. What it all boils down too is what works for you really. Just my 2 cents.
