And for me, all DS is for is to export DS content out of DS and into Poser.

I completely agree, I also use DS just for export, that's why I referred to it as a "free utility".

For my needs it would take an all singing, all dancing, well maintained, constantly updated version of Poser Fusion for me to return to Poser, but that's never going to happen, certainly not at a reasonable price!

Poser needs to follow established standards, again I'm thinking just in terms of my requirements, exporting to C4D (no animation required).

To most people the switch to Dual Quaternian rigging (and bringing back all those JCMs) was a step backwards and they're are probably right! Triax is better than DQ!

...but DAZ had to accept that it would never be implemented by anyone else, while DQ is already exportable via FBX.

For C4D a mixed Linear/DQ rig is standard practice.
