It isn't the actuality that destroys, it is the perception.  If enough people perceive that something is more useful than the other thing then the other thing fades away.  Let's face it.  At the time, the AmigaOS was the best OS available (there was no other 32-bit OS except for some complicated, Geekish Unixish OSs).  How did they falter when they had M$ and Apple by the balls?  They didn't change the perception of the potential users out there before the competition pounced.  Wars are won by strategy not by quality of weaponry (for the most part).

Poser keeps earning the reputation as a 'toy' and by that it will go the way of all toys.  As time marches on, the competition is winning the battles even if by subterfuge.  I don't question Poser's viability.  I question its ability to stand alone in the face of battle.  With its closest allie pitted against it (Daz), it doesnt' increase the odds.

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
