Well, I guess the final answer to this question is "we shall see."

Those who just want to bash e-F are going to continue to do so, regardless of the evidence against them.

To begin with, I've had a couple crashes in all the years I've been using Poser, and that was due to overloading the scene. That's MY fault, not whoever the producer of Poser was at that point. So all of this BS bug talk is just that, BS. If the problem is relegated solely to you, it's not "fixable," and therefore not a bug. If a select few forum posters group up and complain about the same "bug" that still does not validate it. If it cannot be reproduced by the testing base, then it's probably something that select group is doing wrong. (Sorry, but when the complainers regarding bugs are the same names over and over, it tends to look a bit fishy.) If you honestly believe you've found a bug, submit it. I know for absolute fact that e-F takes bug reports seriously, and works diligently to fix anything that can be reproduced.

I noticed that the point that D|S and other Daz products are being supported via content channels was totally ignored. Plus, these features that are comparable to Poser's features are "add-ons" and require additional costs.

That's not to mention the plethora of content packaged with Poser. I see people using Poser's price point as a matter of contention. Well, when you compare the price of Poser to the price of D|S, make sure you add in the cost of a fully morphable V4 to compare to Jessi. Add in the same fully morphable V3 to compare to Judy. Add a M3 in to compare to James.

Oh wait, I also got Koshini, and LaRoo with P7. Add in a full Aiko3 package, and we'll call that square. (Who's left to compare with Sydney though? And the kids?)

Wait, do you get a 6-month subscription to the Platinum club @ Daz with D|S? I got my Content Paradise membership with P7.

Let's also not forget that CP offers a new freebie every month to everyone who owns a legit copy of Poser.

And before someone says that Jessi doesn't compare to Vicky, don't even bother. Even if you don't personally like a figure, it doesn't make it a poor offering.

I could go on and on, but it won't matter. Those who want to whine will continue to do so, regardless of what is presented counter to their arguments. If you don't like Poser, just stop using it. Enjoy D|S, enjoy Carrara, enjoy Bryce, Hexagon, and whatever else Daz puts out.

But don't start threads in the Poser forum about them. Here's some interesting stats:
