Ya know if Poser had been owned by one company and had one consistent design team and an appropriate design/programing budget equivalent (or financially proportionate) to the other programs you seem to be comparing it to then i would likely agree with you.

If Poser had a program that was truly competing with it (and had these things) poser likely would have died for the very reasons you have stated.

Posers interface is a product of its concept. It is not a professional application. it is designed for amatures. and the interface was designed by Kai Krause

Posers figures, like DAZ figures have their problems, many caused by the limitations of the current bone/joint system. I dont think they look starved. Defiantly not average American (overweight). perhaps a bit more ideal or even stylized than "normal" people, but hardly starved.
