having never really used LF, i can only speak to what my eyes tell me, and in many ways is at least somewhat subjective.
what i dislike about LF from a visual perspective [and somewhat regarding Maisie as well, since it looks to me they are cut from the same mesh] is:
her neck bends quite strangely
the shape of her mouth, and it seems to persist no matter who has tried to shape/morph it, relevant mostly to the outer quarter of her mouth on either side.
the weirdness & shape of her teeth, which look like those old Chiclet gum pieces
the flatness of her eyes no matter who has rendered her and what lighting has been used
the way her shoulders/armpit areas look rather unnatural with that exaggerated U-bend
the odd shape of her hands, esp. her fingers and the way they looked when bent
her flat feet, which leads me to think that both LF & Maisie were most likely spawned off the open source mesh of Pauline, who suffered the same flat footedness
the exceptionally large gap between the upper thighs [i'm a petite, thin female, so i have a natural gap when standing, so i've a pretty good sense of how this should look]
i've only run across maybe 2 vendors that have almost been able to take the baked-in look of LF out of their own created morphs, which is commendable, and what i'm having to assume is quite a feat since i can tell spot LF figures & images using LF from a mile away since she doesn't seem really able to be terribly versatile, and maybe easy to morph?, for most people.
now these things i'm mentioning are my thoughts & perspectives upon the version of LF most folks are currently using, so obviously not version-two-oh. but i've looked at the Poser Pulse article about the newer upcoming version, and while there does seem to be some improvements visually, the heavily stylised look of her is still there.
for me, there just isn't enough versatility in terms of morphing her and making her unique enough where i can't tell it's some version of LF...
