Regarding criticisms: I have no doubt that it must have been hell on earth for the Poser Team to keep up with demands, but from my side, all my collegues and friends who have all switched to DS, things were different, we wanted different things, things that should be kind of obvious, and what bothers me is how the Poser Team somehow missed this.

Therein lies the difficulty, ero. Everyone has different needs and priorities. And there is a delicate balance between implementing new features and fixing old bugs that comes into play. Priorities not only have to be weighed against the features that are most in demand or the most needed, but also have to consider the amount of time it would take to implement the requested enhancements or fixes. It doesn't necessarily mean that feature requests are getting ignored, but more a matter of "we have to fix x before we do y."

As several have said here, this is going to be a big effort and it will take time. Allow Rendo the time that is needed to make Poser shine again. It needs TLC.
