    Impossible to use digital circuits more advanced than gates. No way to use microcontroller like KTechLab or long-time simulation as performance of analog simulation of digital circuits (and it can't be changed).

    No GUI, requires few hours to formulate a schematic (KTechLab uses this as backend and formulates schematic from user's design).
