DAZ isn't leaving the users out to dry. They are working very hard on 5.5. Corel tried with v5 to add capabilities to Bryce and had begun on v6. They had quite a bit done before their resources dried up. Despite what they ended up doing to Bryce, I believe they had good intentions whether they initially wanted the program or not. I just don't think they understood the scope of the problem or the loyalty/fanatiscm of the user base. Just give DAZ a chance folks, please.
