I'm not sure I agree that Poser's selling point is being intuitive. I think DAZ Studio is aiming for that market. I've always seen Poser as a more "prosumer" package. (Though I wonder if that might change with the new owners.)

Anyway, the defaults in the cloth room work fairly well. The average user isn't going to make their own clothing, but if you just want to drape cloth over furniture or people, the default settings work okay. La Femme with the hi-res square dropped on her head, default settings:

And if you buy dynamic clothing, it generally comes with a tutorial, or a link to one.

I remember when Poser 5 first came out, there was a popular tutorial with a waving flag. (There are still several like that out there.) That was a pretty good start. Simple, but you have do things like set choreographed groups to keep the flag from falling off the pole. And someone made a list of "recipes" of cloth settings for the cloth room. Canvas, silk, latex, etc. PhilC wrote an app that simplified making dynamic clothing for those who wanted to try it but didn't want to get into modeling. There was a lot of excitement over dynamic cloth when it first came out.

Don't forget to lower the "Collision offset" and "Collision Depth", in the "Cloth Collision Objects". With the default value (=1), it looks like the cloth is floating above the skin. I frequently use 0.3, whereas I frequently used to.... forget to change this
