Can't logically answer your question. There are shaders that were later, but not better. Different. Elderly skin, for example.
Asking what shader is better implies there is a single dimension of goodness. There isn't.
I can show where a shader is inferior on any single dimension, but nothing absolutely compares to everything else with a conceptual rank that makes sense.
What's better: pretzels or ice cream?
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
