I NEVER criticize the work of others, at least not in public: if I have something to say, I address the company, the developer, the person.

"Praise me in public, criticise me in private" hmmm?
This is the manipulative request of every manager and company, that wants their shortfalls addressed in private where they cannot start a contagion of others criticising, but I'm sorry, if you want your praises in public, then you must risk the counter side as well.

"I NEVER criticize the work of others," Oh really, so telling someone "5 minutes and I stopped the video. Always the same criticisms, it becomes tiring." is not a criticism? Of course it is, and it's an arrogant one at that. You are implicitly saying "I am so bored by hearing this criticism that Poser's owners have not addressed after decades, that if anyone raises it, their work is beneath me to listen to."
Frankly, the opinion of a single woefully misguided and irrational person is trivial to me, but please, spare me the sanctimony. Your method of addressing the issue accomplishes almost, if not literally zero unless you have some particular leverage with Bondware that you are not mentioning. Changes happen when companies are incentivised to do so, not when fangirls or boys, blow smoke up their backsides.
"they are not comparable because they do not have the same purpose."
Daz and Poser are competing in EXACTLY the same creative space. Don't think that DS's advanced functionality places it in a different category.
