Quite a bit was invested in making the DHCP server scale really well
in large environments; the ISC server we're told does not scale
as well.

The GUI makes setting it up really easy and quick too.

Certainly arguments like "more modern" and "scales better" or not
to be believed without measurements.  I have seen none.
