Except for IPv6, incremental zone transfers, any sort
of authenticated zone transfer, hell, zone transfers without
scp, and a lack of DDNS if using it internally.

Oh, and I can back BIND9 with a SQL or LDAP server on the
master rather than flat files if I want.

It's fast; it's really fast for caching and running internal.

A one of the secondaries I use runs it. It's sort of a PITA in
taht when I make a change, the BIND machines get a NOTIFY and pull
the zone within seconds. The DJBDNS box gets around to it in a
few hours. And we don't have a relationship where either of us
have access to the others machines for copying files over.
