Irony, much?

You say it's pure prejustice, and then post an unsubstanciated rant 
that, in your own opinion, unbaised renders all look "better". Hmm. Cute.

If you think unbaised renderers are better, you're entitled to your 
opinion. Just stop saying that anybody who dares to disagree is 
automatically a "fanboy".

I didn't say "better".  I said "more photorealistic".  And they are.

Perhaps, yes, more artistic license and less photorealism may yield 
better looking pictures.

and I'm just about as much of a povray fanboy and geek as anyone else 
here.  It just isn't enough to get me blind, though.

My point is that somebody having a different opinion to you does not 
automatically make them an idiot.

photorealism is not a matter of opinion.  The more accurate and close to 
reality it looks, the more photorealistic it is.

And the bandwagon for unbiased isn't?

Most of what I've seen can easily be achieved faster by a raytracer with 
  a good global illumination engine and good use of materials. Some 
things are not quite so easy to come by using traditional techniques.
