I also think exactly the opposite, Poser is one of the greatest values in software to come down the pike in a long time. And while there are bugs, some of them are just from trying to do too much. Things like the grouping tool and the joint editor didn't have to be in the program, they could have sold a "Pro Pack" (gee, what a name for a program) for making and modifing the models and a regular version that only let you work with prepackaged stuff- not make your own. Plus you also have all the animation stuff thrown in too, gee, what a buy! Compare Poser with 3D Studio Max, for example, and while surely it isn't up to Max, you would conclude it is worth say 1/2 or 1/4 as much, not 1/12, the actual cost difference.
