Poser 4 was the version of Poser publicly available while the first version of DS was being developed. As a result, DS only maintains P4 compatibility to this day. They technologically diverge from there.
DAZ Studio is the reason body handles for skirts and dresses are still in use. IMHO, DS has retarded the acceptance of the best Poser technical advancement since Poser 4. They probably don't think a lot about it over at DAZ, but I'm certain they are aware of it.
Consider this: How much dynamic cloth has been available in DAZ's store since P5 was released several years ago? Do you think there would be more dynamic cloth available in DAZ's store if DAZ's own posing and rendering platform had the ability to "clothify?" And if dynamic cloth were the norm in DAZ's store, how long would it be before dynamic cloth were the norm in the community overall?
