Oh.....I've seen it. While it's rarely -- if ever -- stated quite so blantantly: it's fairly obvious that it's a type of snobbery which is often found lurking under the surface of an occasional off-handed comment. And not just in these forums -- many of the anti-Poser remarks that one sees in high-end forums fall into this same category. "It didn't cost much, so it can't be worth much, either."
It's a line of thinking similar to judging the value of a work of art based upon the amount of time that it took to make it. I.E. -- an 8-hour render is inherently better than a 1-hour render. Not necessarily -- but hey, it cost more -- so it follows that it's got to be worth more. To follow the logic: a 12-hour render is better than an 8-hour render........and so forth.
I suppose that the best 3D app in the world is the most expensive one. Which is a possiblity -- but I wouldn't just automatically assume that it's true.
