I quit updating Studio and Carrara quite some time back for this vary reason. When the 2 stopped working well together I rolled them back and stopped updating. When content stopped working well in carrara I stopped shopping at DAZ. Then I gave up on all this out of frustration. DAZ did a great job of killing my enjoyment and interest in this. Thanks DAZ, you have saved me loads of money.

As long as people still use Carrara it will never be dead. Development of it may be, but the app will live on.
