Not much anymore.

It had spherical/cylinder heightfields and nurbs, focal plane and
a few other things years before POV, also better texture tools
and MUCH better animation support, but now POV has everything
POLY has as far as I know, and then some.

To me POV's renderer always looked a little colorless compared to
POLY and inevitably flattened colors in a way I didn't like and
couldn't fix easily.  This seems not be the case anymore, though
it appears that only certain users go for any color intensity
like what I enjoy, so I assume it still takes some tweaking to
bring out vibrant AND rich colors rather than garish/flat colors
which I see so often in renders.

IMO
