The learning curve is not bad, try the freeware DAZStudio without any formal documentation and then re-evaluate your assessment of Poser. ThunderStone is right on with the state of affairs on Poser development. Users have complained about specific features without success. And whatever gets fixed, something else gets broken. Consider this, compared to other 3d programs, Poser is inexpensive and has backward compatibility with older models and materials. Totally revamp the program, not only will you set back productivity for everyone, you will pay more for those features. This type of major compromise will bury the software. And also take into account, the major figure that keeps Poser running is Victoria 4, a DAZ product.
