In fairness 3anson, I should say that I am unsure if your opinion is based on actually using the software ot merely on looking at the number of updates. Different developers have different approaches. Some update often, others prefer to accumulate changes. I don't think one should draw conclusions on quality based soley on update frequency. Personally, I don't even know if there's an update for the DS3 I originally downloaded. The one I use works without problems. Though I certainly don't claim to have tried every feature and of DS or most any other application, it works and does what it says it is supposed to do for everything I've called on it to do. To me that is certainly not unfinished - at least not more than any other application that isn't in legacy status.

Regarding the DAZ programming team, I don't know what your experience developing software is, but having done it for longer than I care to think about and looking at the quality of the application, I must respectfully say that I find your assessment less than credible. Unless you have knowledge of development in general and specifics regarding the architecture of the application, coding techniques, details on what gets updated and why - and most importantly what you would do differently, I don't think you should be so quick to question the competence of the people who put a lot of hard work into producing the product. That's my opinion anyway.
