I do see both reasonings. I tried some free software from another company that emulates Poser (but has no Joie de vivre.) Now that was a nightmare to use for me. Poser 7 was so intuitive right out of the box, I have very few issues with it, but does other software that does the same thing have this issue? My statistical sample size is two.

I don't have a wide experience either, but I've used one that is designed pretty much to pose mannequins for artists to draw from- no clothes, very vague body details, no realistic surfaces, etc. It was much, much easier to pose in than Poser 11 is but not useful for any kind of final render. It has dots or tags on the parts you can grab to manipulate a part, so they don't tend to overlap that much, and it picks the top one first.

Today's big project, circumstances permitting, is to figure out how to pose figures in Blender. I'm cautiously optimistic...
