Congratulations on finding a render app that works with your workflow and talent, however degrading one against another in a public forum is kinda tacky.
There are numerous render engines out there and generally it takes a while to find the one that you can work comfortably with, some have higher learning curves with more available tweakable features, some are total photo realistic based, some handle exteriors better as some do interiors better and even some are animation based. They all have their strengths and weaknesses, be it it's realism abilities or price.
I have not used v-ray yet, however by the images i've seen it seems awesome, I am a Podium user and have no reason to change that as I get the results I seek. Having said that does not mean I will not change, as the industry changes so must my ability to keep up, putting pressure on the designers of my sotware app, if it falls behind or ignores the users wishes...well thats the end of that app.
Finally, my other point is 'ability', it's easy to diss the software for a less than excepted result, however only once you are totally fluent and still not getting results or no help available for asked questions can one throw ones hands into the air and blame the app.
Happy rendering.
