Ever since I got back into rendering last winter; I've tried to think of a decent analogy for the poser/daz|studio "war."  From what I can tell, poser users who have tried and failed to use studio have not given it enough time.  I quit using poser because of the constant difficulty in getting clothes to fit right.  I don't WANT to spend half a day spinning morph dials to get the right combination to make clothes fit.  Even "conforming" clothes don't "conform" precisely in Poser.  You have to MAKE clothes in poser fit.  I had heard about how, in studio, with just a few button clicks the morphs would follow and be represented in the clothes.  That was the transfer utility.  I considered myself a pro at it before 4.5 made it unneccessary.  I NEVER got the hang of poser magnets; yet, now, I use d-forms on nearly every render.  I think that if poser users would give D|S an open-minded month of use; they'd not go back.  The analogy I figured out was that poser users are like linux geeks whereas Studio users are more like Windows people.  Both do essentially the same thing, just linux you have to micro-manage whereas windows is just point and click.  I, for one, love the fact that I can set up a basic scene, light it and have it off to luxrender within a half hour or so.  With Poser, a basic scene would take me all day to create.  I'd rather dedicate those extra hours to letting luxrender work its magic.  Given the quality of the rendering I do now, to what I've done since 2005; if it were not for Paolo, Reality and Luxrender; firefly would have probably drawn me back month ago.
