DS is a crack candy obsession. That's not a complaint. Giving away the software with a generous starter pack of content is actually brilliant. The Daz site has free content on offer all the time, too. DS is more of a destination for content than a source of content. New content creation is better accomplished in an external program. DS includes very little in the way of modelling tools. Hexagon is an interesting modeller, but a lot of people making Daz stuff work in Blender, 3DS Max, Z-brush etc.
