In addition to what dearmad mentioned, I have always enjoyed and appreciated
the coloring of what Polyray renders.  There is something nice, charming and
lively about it.  POVRAY, for some reason, had lacked these qualities.
IMHO, I have always felt that POVRAY, while powerful, is more Academic;
while Polyray is more Poetic.
Another ray tracer that was like Polyray is RayStorm - a short lived
raytracer with a great potential that is no more.
I also like what Polyray is capable of animation wise and rendering into RAW
and wireframes etc......
