One thing that I can share is that there are no similarities between Reality and other Lux exporters so it does not help to draw conclusions based on other programs. This is not a criticism of other programs. We use different approaches and it's good to understand that Reality has its own philosophy and flexibility. Developing Reality is my day job, which puts me in a very special position compared to others who write software in their spare time. 

Hope this helps.
