Don't think I do agree, Poser doesn't try to do too many things at all. It does what it needs to do, though some things it does it could do better.

Take out one of the parts and poser just wouldn't be complete at all. I do like FireFly and with PPro it can render in the background so it doesn't get in the way of still being able to work in Poser. I like having everything I need in one application, instead of having to switch back and fort between different applications and having to worry about compatiblity.

I've been using Poser for over 10 years and imo what it does it does pretty well, I still haven't found a replacement or a set of replacements that can do equal or better and still are affordable.

Perhaps what you need from Poser is not what the creators had in mind at all...... but python is a great addition, it can turn poser into something that the user needs, even though poser wan't created with that need in mind.
