Rendering is quite welle assumed now by plug in like reality, octane etc...
And now very impressive renders won't require buying either of those, with the Cycles integration. Check out some of the incredible renders done with that rendering engine.
May be thinking of other more important features means development time and so money... SM releases new version each year and, each time, with minor improvment...
Every two years, actually, which is a fairly slow development cycle in 3d software. For instance, Maya, 3DS Max, Modo, Lightwave, Cinema 4d, and others release every year. Of course, most of those have the luxury of Hollywood-effects-level customers to push development. Even then, development can be agonizingly slow, despite the yearly releases.
No real bridge (powerfusion is older) like Goz betwwen Zbrush and Daz or for cinema4D etc...
2011 has GoZ.
No compatibility with new Daz character (G3F is superb !)
DAZ characters are great. I prefer making my own content though, but not everyone has the time or inclination for that.
Shame to manage library in poser.
No argument there.
I can add (read comments on poser blog) many other points told by many users who, like me, are now definitively disappointed by the way choosen by SM to try to make money on a soft now depreciated.
Software is only deprecated when the developer stops developing it.
Sorry without me.
Sorry to see you go. Have fun with whatever software you end up using, if any. DAZ Studio is getting better all the time, and maybe in time it will have dynamic hair/cloth to add more realism to its renders.
The main reason that I personally like Poser more than DAZ Studio is that I get built-in rigging and keyframe / graph editor / curve editor animation tools. They're a little clunky compared the ones I use in Maya, but they get the job done. I can buy those for DAZ Studio, but frankly, DAZ already gets enough of my money! 
In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
