Poser is also used by "Scientific American" magazine on occasion.  3D World routinely has Poser this or that - right along side Maya, Max, et al.

Take a look at some scientific, medical, or 3D related papers (we're talking from universities or even research labs - sometimes even PhD work or theses).  You'll find Poser spattered all over the place (ACM and IEEE - membership has its benefits).  Of course, now we're not talking as much about production studios as other fields.

Poser is just a hobbyist toy - my a$$.  Of course, most of the interest lies in the Poser content sometimes for 'ghastly experiments'. ;)

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
