Quote - I think the difference in quality is only due to the difference in understanding on how to get the most out of each app.

I know how to get very vibrant velvet results in DS.  I struggle to do the same in Poser.  It's all a matter of which app works the best with the way our individual brains work.  I don't agree with bashing either program or the people who prefer them. 

Exactly! With you on all counts!
