I believe the original reason for DS was because of the P5 EULA. But it makes sense for a content maker to offer a free program for people to use their stuff in. There are actually a growing number of newbies who are starting out in DS. They are still learning and they aren't going to miss the fancy stuff in P6 because they aren't ready for it yet, they to need to get a grip on the basics first.

Meanwhile, eF is going where CF never went/failed to go, - releasing new original characters.

So the 2 big camps are crossing into each other's territory, I figure this is a good thing, because it opens up the possiblities.

As a long time Poser user, I may not switch to DS because that would be yet another program to have to learn, and who has time for that? Can DS open pz3s? Does DS to do something P4, PP, P6 can't? I dunno, but if I were a content maker, I would make my product work on P4, PP, P5, P6, and DS.
