I don't think that it's as simple as "DazStudio sucks because it's not Poser" and I think saying it is is turning a blind eye to all the reasons people have actually given for not liking DS. I personally don't dislike it. In fact, I use it to get Poser content easily into Bryce. That's all I use it for but like any tool it has it's use. I don't use it to pose or render because I am more comfortable using Poser for that.

What I do dislike is when a company asks for it's users opinions time and time again and then goes on to ignore said opinions repeatedly. Nobody I have heard of wants the CMS program to run as a Windows service when DS isn't running except for DAZ. Now having them say they're going to eventually be tying all of their 3D apps to this service turns me off even further.

It's not hate. It's "Fed Up".
