   Is like comparing apples to oranges: the major difference is EVERYTHING.
It would be shorter to write down the differences, I think... ;)

   Seriously now, it depends on how you use POV-Ray... if you use it as a
render engine for a modeling program, I guess it surely has less features
than any other, because 1) you already lost the best feature: the SDL, and
2) usually exporters don't make justice to POV-Ray capabilities.
