I honestly  only tried those environments once and found  them way too bright for what i do,

That has been my experience as well. I think including better lighting would be the easiest way to improve Poser for beginners. It's something people really seem to struggle with.
There are any number of environments that are available commercially from the complex environment provided by the likes of the Terra environments from MortemVetus which are completes sets, or similar from Flipmode that includes either a dome or skybox along with props to create a scene and lighting to complement the scene in question.  Another range of possibilities are the HDRI offerings from Sharramuse which recommends the environmental dome by Bagginsbill when used in Poser but will work with any similar dome.  All of these easy to use and to control the level of lighting so that it matches the scene.
I know, but for true beginners, I think that's too high a bar. I'd like to see something like that as a Poser default. Like, what lighting would you make the default lighting if you knew the user wasn't going to change it?
