Daz Studio,  I love a lot of tools they have. But as mentioned. the file structure is a nightmare. the buggyness with some of thier great tools. And untill they came out with the new version of AniMate with DAZ Studio, Their keyframing ability was a nightmare.

Poser has plenty of Improvements that can be made. But look at every Program out there. Adobe when all the way from Adobe 5 to CS4. Computers, & Programs work together to make more things possible along with imput for what people would like to see. Without the double and Quad core computers, getting some of the programs with what they can do, would hardly open today. Adobe CS4 is the best example on that.

I have Poser Pro, and I'm sure they won't incorportated a new feature like DAZ's New uptated Ani-Mate into poser 8. But DAZ dosen't have IK, and has not mentioned that anything they are working on will either the last I have checked. With out IK. you can't do safisticate animation which is the most important thing I do. I can make the new AniMate with DAZ Studio really do some neat animations, But DAZ Studio with out IK. Can't fine tune from the hips, and retain the feets correct placement. 

I would love for Poser to have a soft IK,  I have Poser Pro, and on the surface, it looks like there is not much improvement. but the upgraded speed with a more powerful computer makes it worth my money. Instead of me Rendering through the night while I sleep, I can now render while working. And on the longest of Renders. Let them render through the night.

Lets face it. most of what people are talking about is, the way each likes to work. It would nice if Poser 8 or beyond, would doc their tools more like Adobe CS series does. giving more work area for the scene. and also to be able to handly toggle IK and Delete the lights more handly.
