What is art? If you think dynamic hair ferinstance, is great then you may believe it's hella popular despite the fact that the ONLY evidence we have i.e. marketplace and gallety posts suggests not so much. Most evidence (forum posts, gallery images, survey results) is contaminated by self-selection bias. I could show you the logs from the secret useage monitor I snuck into every copy of Poser, but that wouldn't convince most folks either. Lets  just agree to disagree instead of more endless circle jerking. Who knows what the 'typical' Poser user is doing. That beast lies somewhere between the power techie and the shyster doing slip 'n fall images who couldn't care less about SSS and all the other goodies. Whether you think Poser 4 ProPack was the most elegant balance of power vs. ease of use or you want Poser to rival the suite Pixar TD's workstation, no minds are going to be changed. Just relax and let the monkey do his work. I hear Travolta reccommends him highly.
