That's the problem. Poser doesn't work by 'improvement over the previous one'. They just keep heaping more duties and extra baggage onto the same old (archaic and outdated even) source code. It's sorta like taking the source code for NotePad and, building up from there, adding publishing-level functionality (typesetting, vector fonts, block arrangement, images, and so forth). The core of NotePad wasn't designed for desktop publishing. The core of Poser wasn't designed for multitasking, multiprocessing, high-level 3D graphics. Original features are slowly starting to break under the weight of massive geometries, thousands of morphs, and more demanding processing needs not built into the core. For instance, don't expect to see multiple undos until the Poser core is rewritten from the ground up.

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
