If you're an experienced and competent user of SiteRoots, there's 
probably not an especially compelling reason to switch.  I personally 
like the fact that I only need one VHM, plus a very straightforward 
Apache config pattern.  AccessRules don't have a replacement, and I 
continue to use them for various tasks.

Again and again, however, people trying to use SiteRoots for the first 
time panic when they appear to have locked themselves out of the ZMI. 
Just about as frequently, I see posts from folks who think they have 
successfully set up virtual hosting, but their paths are screwed up 
because they didn't understand the proper use of Base and Path.

No amount of documentation seems to stem the tide of wounded feet ;-)
