I agree Razor42. It really is a matter of experience and knowledge as well as preference. Also, I cannot see how metadata would slow anyone down because it actually helps find relevant files without you have to do a manual search.

It is odd that both DAZ Studio and Poser have the same type of Content organaization system, but that said, they are able to use many of the same products as each other.

Another program that has Content  Storage Files is Bryce; but the organization is far different, and much easier to navigate. Materials are kept in files attached to the Materials Lab, While object presets are kept in a completely different location under the Create tab. Then you have the Skies Library kept within the Sky & Fog Lab. You cannot place other types of things in either of those Libraries; however, if you know how to do it you can access the Materials Library from many of the other Labs. The Labs that can do this are the Sky & Fog Lab, the Deep Terrain Editor, and the Tree Lab.

It is far easier to navigate in Bryce than in DAZ Studio or Poser; and Bryce is a DAZ product.
