Lilly Tomlin contends that man developed language because of his deep-seated need to complain ;-)    Seriously, tho, I've curse EF as much as anyone, but more for what they haven't done than what they have, namely the lack of integration with other apps. What's really happening, I think, is less that Poser is trying to become a high-end program and dump the hobbyists, so much as it's that these cheaper programs  that do one thing very well are now getting powerful enough to be useful on a higher level--Vue is still a couple hundred bucks, but was used by ILM on a mega-million dollar movie ("Pirates of the Carribean"); zBrush is still about $300 and was used in "Lord of the Rings"; Poser seems to finally be following suit and integrating with the higher programs, and I think everyone will benefit--not least EF, who I think will be smacking themselves on the heads a year from now and wondering why they didn't do this sooner.
