Trust you to be so efficient and logical!
I still prefer separate runtimes so that I can find assets with the windows explorer. My reasoning: Soon as I get that dreaded "Poser not responding" as it searches for a texture or geometry that was improperly referenced... I used to panic. But with the way my runtimes are organized, I know exactly where -- which vendor, which texture folder, which geometry folder, etc -- to point the explorer window when Poser finally gives up. (It also helps with the ever present texture cross talk bug that I come across very frequently).
Also, if I decide to load someone else's product into a modelling or texturing app, I know precisely where to find their stuff and whatever changes or fixes I made to it.
Computers are fast. But when it comes to searching for stuff on my harddrive, my brain is way, way faster. Windows doesn't yet have any search algorithms that are worth a damn. :)
