Drages, your opinion isn't actually a fact. It is an opinion, nothing more.  The folks at bondware are cleaning out 20 years of cruft, and that is going to take a while.  Although I have to admit, I suspect the animation tools won't be at the top of the list.

My opinion is that Poser is easier to use than Blender (it comes with actual documentation and content), and more powerful than DS (because I don't have to spend $600+ for 3rd party scripts to reach feature parity - that number was NOT picked out of a hat, btw). I like the fact that I can pull in Poser content, DS content, and FBX content.  With a little bit of work, I can pull in other 3d assets into Poser.

And most importantly:

The enduser can expand their skills at their pace, rather than getting on the pay train.  If they just want to Load, Conform, Make Art a la Poser 4, nothing stopping them.  When they are ready to join us in the 21st Century, they can, and not lose what they had before.

Yeah, V4/M4 is old - guess what?  It has more content by several orders of magnitude than any other figure in the DS/Poserverse.  The only thing keeping you from having a V4/M4 with all of the latest bells and whistles is you.  I took Sasha-16 & added control surfaces (Using Uncle Ero's Project Evolution as a guide).  Once I get my new system finished, I'll do the same to the G figures that I brought over from DS.
