Aw, and here I was thinking that we'd all nicely suggest that Jetstream try both programs and choose whichever one he prefers? Guess it's time to be really honest then...

    "they are the ones who try to rationalize a crippled and incomplete program as being an actual "option" comparable to Poser."

Give me a break, at least it doesn't have a ludicrous interface, a trial-and-error light positioning system, limited cameras, and a material room so overly complex that only a fraction of it's users know even half of what it can do. Not to mention it's a resource hog and it took years to finally implement multiple undos.

    "Speaking of V4.1, I could give you dozends of examples where she is inferior over V3"

Oh? V4's expression morphs are vastly superior to V3's, she is no longer built like a linebacker, and (argueably) she bends and poses better.

    "And the ironic thing is that neither "modern" D|S nor "modern" V4.1 can deliver one iota more realism over "ancient" Poser and V3."

This is completely dependent on the user, not the program. The bottom line is what any particular user is able to do with the program they choose. I used Poser since the first version, and I am better with DAZ Studio than I ever was with Poser. Stick to the facts; yes Poser has rigging tools and other features that DAZ Studio does not, but saying DAZ Studio is 'crippled' or cannot produce art as well as Poser can is simply not true.
