Not trying to convince you to use DS4 since you obviously have your reasons not to. But since others have indicated some interest in learning more about DS4 and Genesis, I thought I'd expand on your statement a bit.

True, AutoFit will remove all custom morphs from non-triax weight mapped clothing. But, since DS4 Pro is free, anyone taking advantage of the free offer will have the Content Creator Tools (CCT). You can use CCT to convert standard Gen4 clothing to triax weight mapped clothing ready for use in Genesis (similar to what is being done with V4 clothing for V4WM). When the clothing is converted this way, ALL the original custom shaping/movement morphs are still there.

Like others have already noted, for many it's not an either/or option. We happily use both Poser and DS (and some, like me also use Carrara), and are able to take advantage of the strengths of both applications. It does mean a little more work to learn  more than one application, but the flip side is that it can actually help make us a bit more efficient, because we can use the best tool for the job.

IMHO, Genesis is much more enjoyable and easier to use than V4. But that doesn't mean I will stop using V4. Just like DS and Poser, Genesis and V4 seem to be able to co-exist on my hard drive in perfect harmony. Now I can have the best of both (all three) worlds. I can use V4 and Genesis in DS4 and Carrara, and as soon as I can upgrade to PP 2012 (hopefully in the next week), I can use V4, V4WM, and Anastasia!!! I may even use some of the other new figures available that have been mentioned in this thread, but V4 is far from dead.

I'm pretty exited about the developements in both Poser Pro 2012 and DS4. I wish we could use all assets in both programs, but that may simply be too much to ask for.
