I disagree
It is exactly what the majority of users have asked for since a long time:

• Make the User Interface more flexible
• Improve the library
• Indirect lighting
• improve the morphing tool
• improve the hair and clothing room
• Faster rendering
• Better rigging
• Normal mapping
• New figures
• Better plugin support

These are all new features not present in Poser Pro 7
Of course there is room for improvement, but they certainly listened to their customers

And if there are problems or bugs, report them to Smith Micro so they can get fixed. I do not have those problems with reflections and different shader outputs, so I can't help you with that
