I just love this thread because I agree with so many of you. I avoided most of the hype, and so many of the new figures, especially the Toon characters and the cats. I've learned to wait and see just how much support they have later, and to listen to other people's reviews.

I was initially excited about DAZ|Studio, since it is "new," but in the end, I prefer a finished product that will remain the same from day to day. Right now, the learning process is just too chaotic. Also, I'm waiting to see just how much of DAZ|Studio's essential functionality remains free.

In my own opinion, another consistent negative on DAZ's part is the failure to totally support Poser 5. Yes, DAZ says they're moving in that direction, but I don't see the evidence of that support. I still need to fix far too many bad bump maps, and fiddle about with hair in a desperate effort to make it look right in Firefly.
