I started using DAZ about 6 years ago. I came across it on the internet accidentally and thought it was so cool.  I had no problems using the application itself, but as i got more and more into it, along the way, you start learing about things that well, you need to know if you want to progress from beginner's level.  For me, DAZ is definitely easier to use and maneuver for users. However I am under the impression that Poser, which I do have (P7) and have tried my hardest to learn how my way around it,  seems to have some features that DAZ doesn't, which makes poser rendered images look better than DAZ's.  With DAZ 4 Pro out there and more than a handful of plug-ins available to work with DAZ, I am sure it will only be a matter of time before DAZ is where Poser is at.  Hopefully.
