I notice the "Autofit" is $98 or so, regular price (on 50% sale atm).

I've chucked DS4 into my cart, but that's just because it's free.
I doubt any of the plugins work with it yet. Last time it took weeks, sometimes months, before the plugins were updated.

Which means, in the meantime, DS4 is a crippled program, if you were on DS3A with a bunch of plugins.

And that's why I like Poser. I get it, I can use all of it, right away.

Like an idiot, I bought DS3A and missed the 30 day return by one day, because my internet was down. I figured since I'm stuck with it, I may as well try to get on with it.
The content "library" defeated me. I can't find anything in a reasonable amount of time.
I am used to Poser's cloth room. Well imagine my surprise when I found out the hard way that the only dynamic cloth you can use in DS3A has to be made by one specific company -- or it won't work.
I became more and more frustrated, because the things I expected to see -- required 3rd party plugins.
I got some of them, only to find I kept having to redownload various bits and pieces each time DS3 was updated -- resulting in a feature crippled program each time.
Since I was fixing my own stuff, I picked up the Advanced Figure Setup Tools -- after a lot of internal debate. Then someone tells me there's a 30 day trial of them -- and I returned them right away to use the trial instead.
I'm glad I sent them back, because it appears the AFST are no longer required / supported in DS4 (Don't quote me, i don't know, but several people have asked and no one got an answer. I'm guessing they won't be supported because the rigging is different now.)
Personally I want to know which plugins will no longer be supported -- because that means I've potentially wasted a lot of money on something falling by the wayside.

These days, I only pick up props at Daz and stick with what I got figure wise.

All in all, I think the whole DS thing has been a huge waste of money, a ton of frustration and worry for me -- and it's all down to "Plugins".

At first, when DS started, I thought it was a great idea -- until you had to redownload and reinstall everything with every other update, because the plugin updates always lagged behind. To my mind, it's stupid to release an update before dependent plugins are also updated, so people can keep working seamlessly.

People kept complaining about Poser 5 being buggy at release (it wasn't, for me), but I'd rather have that, and get a fix and I can use all of it, than having to update everything all the time.
I have never had to redownload an entire Poser install to get a fix, ever.
