I don't think growing up will fix 'The Situation'. We'd need to evolve as a species to avoid this kind of a mess :)
I made a decision a while back to stick to Poser and let DS be. It was partly because of the time and money I'd spent on Poser and products for it and partly because Poser fit my workflow better (with all the addons I'd bought). So when Daz comes out with a product that's DS only I ignore it. Antonia WM works well in Poser and there is a WM version of V4 on the way so I'm not worried for the future. I see no point in using Genesis, personally.
The sad thing is that all the time and effort that's gone into bickering about the situation has left a hole in the community. Remember when we used to fight about render techniques (the gamma correction debate) or ways to make Poser do things it's not supposed to be able to? There is less discussion about the new SSS shader then there was about the VSS system. Could we discuss the Poser weight map system without comparing it to DS?
Like JenX said in a sticky somewhere, It's sometimes good to take a deep breath, step away from the computer and RELAX (damn, now I want to listen to Frankie). Haters will continue hating. We can't change that through this forum (you have to catch them and flick them on the back of their ears)
