Now that I have spent time with La Femme, I really want to make her my primary model, but of course this requires the community's help. Conforming hair works great with the V4 fit patch, V4 poses work with only some minor hand and feet adjustments, but skin textures, characters and especially conforming wardrobe are going to need some help from the community.
The community right now seems to be focused on G3/G8 for good reason (she's popular, and stuff sells), it would be nice if La Femme would get similar support.
Like if Blacksmith3D would add V4 to La Femme and Genesis 3 female to La Femme texture converters to his Texture Transformer, If 3DAge made La Femme versions of her incredible clothing library, if ali released La Femme fit patches to his hair styles, if character creators and pose library producers filled in the gaps, it would be really easy to make the transition over.
The hair styles don't need to be changed, Blackhearted has a V4 hairfit morph for La Femme here. Adjust the model, not the hair pieces. Problem solved, at least for me.
A module for Texture Transformer would be great, though. Refitting V4 clothes to La Femme seems to be much easier than with any other figure I tries with, still I would like to see refittet clothes from the creators. Much less of a hassle.
I'm hoping this comes with time. Unfortunately, the Poser community has had a lot of promising new models: GND, Dawn/Dusk, Pauline/Paul, Evo, with only limited community support. I really want La Femme to be different this time.
I have only found a few nit picks, like odd shoulders and armpits when the arms are on the side, minor issues with teeth, and a need for a hip morph to close the thigh gap, but these are fairly easy fixes. There are also going to be community lesson learning like "Essentials Pose Set for La Femme" seems to mess with the eyebrows, ruining my meticulously adjusted character face. We might have to unlearn some lessons and learn new stuff.
The tigh gap and the armpits aren't a bug but a feature in the base figure, since they both help the Fitting Room to do it's Thing, if I got it right. Both can easily be morphed in characters. I like this better than having a seperate figure for the Fitting Room.

but that is not what ships are built for.
