For the most part, with some welcomed exceptions, Poser/DS 'art' has become just a product shot eye candy.  If that's your thing, then great!

I myself use older figures mostly.  Actually, my main art centers on landscapes and architecture so i tend to use Vue more; but when i need a person in the scene I generally use V2 or Miki 2 or Apollo.  They are much easier to deal with.
