It takes too long to get a decent image on my old, slow machine, for one thing. Just a simple image with one relatively simple model - my MK1 Dalek, for example, takes 37 million billion and a half years before it stops looking grainy.

I can't, for some reason, get my head around the new approach to materials. I can get pretty much what I want, or a reasonable approximation thereof, in Firefly but in Superfly? Noooo.

Finally - and this really is the deal breaker for me - it doesn't support Displacement, which is something a lot of my stuff relies on. Yes, I know about Normal maps - although I haven't ever tried to make one yet - but in my experience, they don't look anything like as good as Displacement.

So, a triple whammy. If, at some point, I can upgrade the machine, I may look at Superfly again but until then, nope.
