From what I can gather, the main features are an improved HDRI implementation, adding a simplified option to materials and removing the cloth room.

It doesn't feel like much of a new version (it even has less than Poser 13 now that the cloth room has gone) but am I missing something?

I have a lot of nostalgia for Poser, but it's becoming hard to justify the upgrade cost each time, especially when they are removing features and Daz Studio is free. 

At this point and way back, the only hope to have a crazy old rich guy takes Poser from Renderocity and resurrect it. Poser is a zombie for years, yeah you think it's alive from far away, but when you get close, you see it's dead.

Daz3D is not a replacement for Poser even after a decade because of the Poser's animation and morphing abilities. The mind-blowing part is that the Poser should be different because of its animating part, but there is no update about animating for 15 years, 15 fcking years...

DAZ is clearly NOT for animators.
If you want advanced animation, invest in Character Creator 5.
It is actually quite expensive, but you get all the stuff, that Poser should have achieved all through the years...
or "just" learn Blender.
