*"Ability to get rid of some of the rooms"

*Can be done by editing some of the XML files that come with Poser. Not easy, but it can be done.

*"**Ability to use things other than dialers to adjust stuff..."

Can be done: either by clicking the value and enter the numbers by hand, or by double clicking the value and change the tracking scale, making the dial change at more appropriate increments, or by enabling the direct manipulation tool and using the circular gizmos around the joints.

*"Gimbal locks on joints..."

*Choose Figure -> Use limits.

*"Render room of Carrara"

*Don't have anything to say on that, I don't have Carrara and can't say if it's more capable/user friendly.

*"Library explorer..."

*Agree with you on that part, it should be part of Poser itself. There's a plugin available (free AFAIK) that has an Explorer-like style for the libraries, the ability to group different kind of items together (a figure plus all hair that fits that figure, for example), and lots more. Don't know the name of the library by heart, though.

*"Search engine to find your assets in poser"

*Download my free FindInLibs.py script.

*"Batch rendering"

*Is available from the scripts menu.

See, more than half of your Poser peeves have already been solved, either by the Poser development team itself or by others.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
