The library is tear off and if you have the 64bit PP2012 version you can even have it as a separate app

The UI thing - I absolutely dislike the UI of DS (all versions) and I do like the UI of Poser. So if they would follow you, I would be unhappy.

Regarding Microsoft's origin - Support for Apple was just of of the things Bill did. He started with implementing Basic on a variety of systems (big word for very small cpu's). I implemented one version with them in a dedicated wordprocessor in 1979.

SubD would be a nice feature but has its limitations as well. It would be nice if Poser would get it, but is not easy to implement as an afterthought

Resource hog - Yes, Poser is. Just like most of the 3D applications. 64bitness helps a lot in this respect, but whatever you do you will reach its limits soon enough. (if not because of lack of memory, it will be because of lack of CPU cycles). For now I can load plenty of stuff and have not reached the limit yet

Most of the scaling issues have been resolved. The only part still having a problem is single axis scaling. I hope this will gets resolved some time in the future.
