Here's the thing, Poser already has an "auto fit" tool, it's called Wardrobe Wizard. Don't kid yourselves, the DAZ autofit tool works on basically the same principals as WW. IF SM goes with weight mapping Asa part of their next release, it's not inconceivable that WW will be updated to work with it, depends on PhilC's frame of mind, and I can't see him letting the opportunity pass. So the main question is, is SM interested in implementing weight mapping, and, considering the fact that weight mapping is become one of the common rigging techniques, that also not unreasonable to expect. So the bottom line is that all of the DS vs Poser infighting is really unnecessary. DS as an app wil have it's users, guaranteed. Genesis' success or failure will, as with ANY new figure, depend on vendor support. Let's face facts, convsion programs llike WW or the auto fit plug-in only work to a limited degree, and the results are not alway very good. So if vendors make new material geared to the aGenesis figure, it will succeed, if not it will probably become a nich product like Apollo, or even Antonia. Both are excellent, but hardly have main steam support.
