I was under the impression that Genuine Fractals was thought to be 
getting a bit long in the tooth and that more recent spline software was 
favored for several reasons.

I have used Genuine Fractals, but it was two or three years ago now, and 
I found s-spline to be more appropriate for my use. It did a better job 
of producing a high-acutance image without introducing artifacts, and 
didn't require me to save the image in a weird file format that only one 
program understands. Not that s-spline is terribly new compared to 
Genuine Fractals' mystery math, but it did a very nice job for me. I 
think one of the more highly regarded commercial implementations of 
s-spline is called Photozoom Pro or some such.
