proving my Cult theory?<<

Hardly.

Rather a lesson in eclecticism. :-)

Use the stuff that works and throw away what not works.
And obviously the non-DAZ meshes dont "work" for the majority of users.

As for EULAs., you better get your facts straight.
As long as you decode them properly, Frankensteins are fine.
Only one merchant obviously thinks that his creations must be protected from unauthorized improvments. ;-)

You want to break DAZ dominance ?

Fine, then maybe start by creating some meshes that are actually better than their unimesh.
Not just better because it isnt DAZ, but better because they are more realistic, have better mesh topology, are more versaitle, more easy to use and (VERY IMPORTANT) are more attractive.

And price them right so that everybody can afford it.

THEN, and ONLY then, you might have a chance that people give up their gigabites of DAZ content and switch over.

Everything else is just wishfull thinking.

Most merchants need to make money and have only limited time. So they of course will spend their time for things that bring the most profit.
I supported NEA/Posette and Dork just for fun, but if I wanted to make money from my stuff, I wouldnt have touched them with a ten foot pole.
I really like them, but from a monetary point of view, products for them would be be a waste of time because they would be unsaleable these days.

If you want to support a non-DAZ mesh, just do it.
But dont expect others to voluntarily loose money.

Things are not like they are because DAZ are devils incarnate and the Poserites are mindless sheep.
Things are what they are because all other meshes are simply not good enough to compete.
And they wont get better with more support.

As for UTC and WardrobeWizzard.
It was pretty stupid from e-frontier to not map Jessi and James like V3 and M3, or at least map them like V2 and M2 like Judy and Don.
From what I know there wont be a Jessi/James UTC plugin because the developer simply doesnt see enogh sales for it to be worthwhile.
And Im VERY sceptical about any kind of automatic clothing conversions.
You just cant get the same quality with converted clothes than you get with clothes that were made for the mesh.
And the more detailed the clothing mesh is, the more the conversion will lack cmpared to the original item.

So I very much prefer to use hybrids, as they can be clothed as easily as the original meshes without any loss of quality.
