Why spam eF? Whether it be by petition, or by e-mail. I personally like the Face Room. I have also spent the better part of a couple of years working with it.
Is it perfect? No. Should it be? No, not if you like getting Poser at non-3DMax prices.
I have seen people complain about the Cloth Room, the Mat Room, the Face Room, etc. Well I don't know what to tell people. If Poser is such a bad product, then purchase Max or Maya or Rhino, or whatever. There are even great free tools like Blender if you want to go cheap.
People seem to forget what Poser is. It is not a modeller. It was originally created just to simulate a model for traditional art. However, each company that has owned it has added new features to it to make it more useful.
Is there room for improvement? Of course. Nothing is ever perfect. However, I think people are getting a bit overbearing demanding that every single feature be worthy of a package 10 times the price. Go price out FaceGen. Price out that Mac app that the shaders came from. Price out the app that Poser Fashion came from. All these tools are brought to you by eF in a cheap package compared to each individual piece.
Now I'm sure people will flame me to no end for this post, but maybe those people should try taking a step back for a second. Like I said, if Poser is not "good enough" for you, price out packages that do what you want. Then decide if the learning curve for those packages is even remotely feasable to your time.
Some people see it as the owners of Poser not paying attention to their customers. Well, I for one feel like they are paying attention to me. They are giving me a low-cost solution to creating artwork for my own pleasure. They aren't trying to give me the next Max or Maya.
