Well there's the potential for the new weight mapping features to benefit EVERYONE, because you don't have to know anything about rigging to actually use a weightmapped figure or conformer.  As Diogenes is saying, if people can agree on a standard for any given figure (that's going to be the hard part) then it's not any harder to use than the old style rigging, the process of conforming works exactly the same way - but the potential quality is much better.  Emphasis on potential, though.
