I understand JoePublic's point, but I think that if Smith Micro went to a modular approach we'd end up paying a lot more money for the program with all the bells and whistles.  Having other options available gives you room for growth, perhaps you may read a book or get inspired and want to use some of the other rooms--it's better to have them I think than having to pay an overly inflated price for them later.  Then there's Poser 7 Pro which is coming out with the connivity to higher end software that people want.

If you read The Secret of Poser Artists, an excellent book BTW, you'll see that Poser is already used extensively by professionals in everything from comic books to television ads to print ads to illustration.  It is a much maligned software that doesn't deserve the bad rep it gets--the 3D purists who beleive one can only create great visions in excessively expensive software packages are sadly mistaken.  There is Poser art everywhere, I see it often in ads and even in the new Tarot Deck I recently purchased--it's not difficult to spot it.  It's the graphic designers dirty little secret.

I agree that the Poser interface needs and overhaul, a lot of screen space is wasted, it could be more efficeint--but I'm used to it now and can live with it.
