If you just don't use the features that are new or strongly improved in
3.5 there is of course no point, but for most people this won't be a valid
argument.  

Megapov, although being quite stable and containing various features that
are not in 3.5 has some serious flaws, especially in the
isosurface/function part like 'trace()' not working on isosurfaces and
much more limited functions.  

I totally understand if people don't use the current betas because they
don't want to regularly download large packages, don't want to have
problems with the various bugs still present and don't want to start
learning a syntax still subject to changes, but just saying Povray 3.5 has
no worthy improvements does not seem a very qualified opinion to me.
