The worst thing I've said about Studio is that it's in "constant beta". And I'm attacked and rebuked as not knowing what I'm talking about.

I wasn't attacking you, nor did I specifically state that you didn't know what you're talking about. The "constant beta" myth has been batted around for a number of years now, mostly by the anti-daz crowd, and it perpetuates arguments that lead to getting threads locked and deleted, and prevents any of us from having a mature, open discussion about the state of Poser and it's issues without it breaking down to insults and personal attacks. The 'constant beta' argument is simply not true. No more so than it is true of any other software out there, including Poser. So it would be nice to see it stop being stated as though it were truth.

Isn't being in constant beta a good thing? I'll admit, as one who remembers ordering boxed 3D software with manuals, that I hate constantly updating something on my computer every few days... Between Windows updates, Radeon updates, CCleaner (once a week?), Firefox... Then 3d-Coat, blender, zBrush... And hey look, Wings3D and bloody Anim8or got a new version, too. So yeah, do you keep going with what works? Or do you keep everything up to date... Update the next time you use the program, or just make a mental note and install everything at once in an afternoon? But that's not the point... Daz Studio stable release is 4.10 Pro, beta version is 4.10.0.113. The stable release was on Oct. 26, so we can't say that it's in constant beta as it was not in beta for at least a brief moment on that day.
