I started out with Poser 4, then moved up to 5 and more recently 6. However, I started using DazStudio about a week ago and it's been like a breath of fresh air. Poser has got so bogged down over the years that it's become like trying to work in a bath of molasses. DazStudio is so much faster, easier, intuitive, and more fun to use. I'm still experimenting with DS right now and as I never render in Poser (and don't intend to render in DS either) I have been experimenting with .obj exports to other programs (Carrara and Bryce). There are some excellent export options in DS and so far so good. I find Poser so unenjoyable to use that I would love DazStudio to replace it in my workflow and the price of DS cannot be argued with either.

Anytime I see something screech across a room and latch onto someone's neck, and the guy screams and tries to get it off, I have to laugh, because what is that thing?
