You (IMHO rather ignorantly) assume that this is all an either/or proposition. The existence of a high-end Poser-like tool does not preclude the existence of a standard Poser-like tool. Carrara didn't wipe out DAZ|Studio, and the presence of Microsoft SQL Server didn't destroy MS Access.

This is true.
And I didn't once, not once say for my "Ultra Poser" to replace current Poser (what I called "standard" a couple of times in this thread), for the very reason that it would "put the price point outside the range of 90+% of the users...".
I went way out of my way to point that out on several occasions in this thread, and I even went so far as to say I wouldn't bitch and moan if it didn't happen.

I just wanted to set the record straight on that. Over the course of  just the last few months my feelings towards Poser as a program have changed somewhat, for various reasons, for the better. I also wrote earlier in this thread I've "even come to embrace it, flaws and all".
Strangely enough Sean, it was the last little flamefest you and I had here which was one of the contributing factors, because you were right - I had been pointlessly knocking the program and decided I needed to either find something good in it or give it and the Poser forums up for good.

Just don't tell people here things I'm not actually saying such as I want to "burden Poser with a bunch of tools..."
