I think Poser does have problems, and they can be split into at least three sorts. First are the basic technical problems such as the memory management. Second are the problems with the way Poser handles the virtual world it models. In this I'd put things like nostril glow and the bending of elbows and knees. The third group are as much down to the user as the software, and include using standard poses, standard faces, and a lot of other such stuff. And maybe a fourth category is entangled with the quality of the documentation. It's maybe a good thing that Poser 6 isn't the leap that Poser 5 was, but you can spend more on computer graphics textbooks than on Poser before you can properly understand the manual. Those shader nodes nedd more explanation than just a listing of the names of inputs.
