I have heard that a lot, but I have to say that I didn't really see anything - for my usage - that stood out compared to Studio, and a lot that was more cumbersome. It's approach and UI were certainly, er, idiosyncratic. I used it frequently (sometimes several times a week) but not deeply over a period of about two years for a client that was clearing a huge backlog of untranslated material. Like you, I was never convinced by its fuzzy calculations, so I never really trusted the work that came my way via Transit. I also didn't like the licensing setup.
If I had been able to use Transit for the same sort of work for which I use Studio I would have been able to make a fairer apples-to-apples evaluation. However, things went the opposite way, and the client switched to the Studio toolchain, which in itself tells you something.
Regards,
Dan
