Sidenote:
As a customer at least for me it is a simple decision:
DS and the DAZ store are the only ones who offer products with metadata.
If I purchase thousands of products I want to be able to tag and categorize them...
Actually Poser has metadata and tagging now as well. Cant recall if that is as of 2012 or only with 2014 but it does have it. Granted for most people (vendors included) it often comes down to what they personally use or can use. In our case we started out long before there was a DS in the days of Poser 4/Poser 5 so obviously we would know Poser better. To get the most out of DS with our packs we hired on someone who does the DS work and knows DS inside and out like we do Poser so both apps are supported as equally as possible but it really is tough with there being two apps and different versions and then restrictions between the versions etc :(
