Some rambling observations from a hardcore graph editor user:  Even in essentially identical operations, graph edits provide immediate visual feedback that the animation palette lacks: I can see the curve I just copy> pasted appear in it's full spline glory.  I can place the cursor immediately to the highest or lowest or middlin' value, on sight. The reason I mention this is that the S.M. chat advisor seemed to go out of his way to try to say that the animation palette was for all intents and purposes simply another way to do the exact same things in Poser that I was using the graph editor for, and then when I began to point out that this was in fact incorrect, began an evasive tactic instead of conceding that very real point. To wit: I CAN show you things that can be done in graph that simply cannot be done in palette, and THEREFORE it is incorrect and/or disingenuous to pursue some line of reasoning that equates the two functionally and dismisses the choice to mere "workflow preference", which is what this cat was saying, no matter how clever the evasiveness of his retreat.
