Basketball shoes make ok running shoes, and football cleats make ok golf shoes. That's not thier intended purpose, but it works ok. IFS is sorta like that.
If you need anymore analogies, I'll be here all day.

I think it's fair to say that if you are going to drive like OTTO the bus driver from the Simpsons, a Solid axle with stronger birfs is going to take alot more abuse than any of our IFS units. But, I'd like to think we're all a bit more sane and cautious than that. Offroad isn't black and white, and mildly built IFS can handle plenty of the gray area.
Both types of suspension handle differently as well, articulation and ride. It's unescapable. Learning to handle each is a task in itself, but both can be used confidently.
It's really all preference. I just never hear anyone say SFA sucks, and I tend to think it's because the IFS guys are a bit more open minded. (Here's where the SFA guys say "That's because SFA doesn't suck") hahahaha
We're all making the newbies feel like they can't wheel unless they swap. It's unfortunate. Let's help the newbies.
