Well for me the killer feature is font anti aliasing. Ok this isn't something
important to get work done but without it looks quite ugly. Another important
thing is that the xforms menus behave a little bit different then expectet.
Sometimes it's just "hanging" a little bit.
Maybe I'm too jung to see the real beauty in this old unix stuff or I've used
KDE too long ;). Hm relatet to this I've startet with fvwm2, switched then to
KDE 1.0. ATM I'm using on most systems blackbox with quite a bunch of kde
tools.
So IMHO it's a nicer looking and a more intuitive use that let me favour
qt instead of xforms.
