Yeah, the discussion hasn't been about "Genesis is the best figure Poser has ever seen -- Agree or Disagree". I don't think a single person has ever suggested that Genesis in Poser is a great figure or even a particularly good one. In fact, it's been more of a "Genesis kinda sucks in Poser, how can we make it usable?"

Depending on the kinds of renders you want to do, Genesis is, however, a very well supported figure.

So: if you wanna render girls in skimpy outfits in Poser, it's not worth it. V4 et al (plus a huge variey of non-Daz females) already outperform Genesis-in-Poser.

But if you want to render anthropomorphic blends or creatures or aliens or children or dwarves or the ultimate in niche characters, human males, then Genesis-in-Poser offers the tantalizing possibility that you may use a wider variety of new clothing because 1. the unisex nature of the figure permits vendors to make clothes that fit both sexes and 2. Daz has been marketing the holylivinghell out of M5 and male clothing for months now.

There may be other reasons people are interested in Genesis-in-Poser, not least of which is to try to bridge a rift in the Poser/DS community, to try to give vendors the chance to sell to a wider market, to feel confident that Poser won't fall into obscurity, etc, etc...

But the idea that Genesis-in-Poser was supposed to be some sort of ultimate figure worth of worship. No. I don't think anyone expected that.

ETA: I have converted some Genesis clothing to use on Gen 4 figures. The result is not what I desire. Genesis clothing on Genesis is far superior, IMO. So improving Genesis-in-Poser itself is a goal I am quite interested in.
