Poser is software that allows people to growas an artist. The simple "make art" features are still there. We can still load a figure, load a canned pose Load a conforming outfit and Pop on a canned and hit render. Or we can take the time to delve into the various rooms and make more advanced images. I've never used poser 4 but those features still seem to be there. There are just more features that can also be used to allow a greater range of expression.

As far as the amount of users I don't think we can look at the number of users online at  daz or renderosity. Daz includes 3-D studio, hexagon, Bryce and Carrera. Renderosity includes all of those plus many other forms of software. Neither gives indication of who uses what software. The only way to truly tell if software is on the decline in by looking at the number of sales for each program.
