Out of curiousity, how is DS UI better if you don't like using it? You want a real UI, check out Modo. Don't bother with the different app arguement because the same can be said with comparing DS, a new software, to poser, the original.

Does anyone remember how fast P4 was, even on our old slow machines, before all the new features of P5? Same could be said for DS before you add those poser features. But don't get me wrong, I don't hate DS, even if it may sound like that at times. DS has it's place and is doing what it was designed to do. Keep Daz in buisness.

I don't think someones going to design a new app in a short time that will take Posers place. DAZ has been working on this for a few years now and still not there. But who knows what will be in a few more years. Maybe Daz code will be outdated too.

Software changes as do the machines we use. What we think is gods gift to CG today can be crap tomorrow. Some sofware dies fast, some linger on for a few years and slowly get replaced. Poser has the power of the user base so it will take some time to die, if it does. SM has the final say as to Posers future.
