Quote - I don't think its realistic to expect Poser to incorporate all these features that only a very small percentage of its userbase would ever actually use.

Where do you come up with these figures?  Are you saying Poser users don't want realism in their renders?

 

Quote - That's not cost-effective for any business model. It's intended primarily for portrait style rendering or small scenes and that's what the majority of its users use it for.

Excuse me, but the "majority" use it for these purposes because that's all they can get out of it.  You're putting the cart before the horse to come up with your summations.

Quote - Beyond that it provides tools to port your work to other more advanced software if that's what you want or need to do. Maybe you've just outgrown Poser and need to start looking at learning more advanced software that better suits your needs. 

Wrong again.  They incorporated these export/import functions due to the demands of poser users who realized they are never going to fix/upgrade the features Poser is supposed to have, so they are forced to try to take it elsewhere.

Indeed?  I'm not really sure you want to sign off on that rubbish post.
