"1) setting up lights and skin textures is very long and time consuming process and end result is almost never as good as Poser's default render......."

That is very much a your mileage may vary sort of thing. It takes me forever to set up poser lights and half the time I am not pleased with the results. Lights in studio are so much easier and faster to me. And fixing skin textures in poser is a nightmare as far as I am concerned. And I finally realized they did need fixing to go with the lightning I have selected. Because it is such a pain in the behind I tend to just go and get an elite texture and have done with it rather than try and fix other ones. Generally when I do promos for products they take about 4 times as long to do in poser as they took me in studio.

I agree about more backwards compatability. That was always one of my pet peeves though I have had less hassle with it of late.

Faster rendering is always nice, but truth to tell I suspect I would need a newer computer for it to help me out much.

For 5 I'd want a more intuitive set up for shader mixer and dynamic hair. Hey, a girl can dream can't she?
