Hmm I don't know how applicable this is to this thread still, but I love Carrara and can't wait to get c6p.  Now that I have learned how to pose in it, I barely have any use for Poser at all anymore.  I do still use it, for me the textures are easier to apply in Poser - then I transfer all to Carrara.  I would rather dig my eyes out with spoons these days, than to render in Poser.

Maybe I'm so happy with it because I don't read the complaint boards : p
