It's often been a criticism levelled at LW that its character animation toolset is seriously lacking.
I know that with 8.0 there were some inroads made to improve the toolset (and the speed of the existing tools), but you're right - it still has a long way to go to beat some of the other tools out there.
One popular workflow is to model in LW, then export your models to poser for actual rigging and keyframing. You can then export everything back into LW later for final texturing and rendering.
And of course, there's always Messiah...
... and of course - LW 9.0 :p
