Anyone here who uses LTspice need only to look in the mirror to 
figure that out.  Apparently, there are some features that 
Altium has that they consider to be important.   What are they?

That's obvious.  They are waiting for us to provide a conversion 
utility.

Let me ask for help again. ..  Gnucap has a conversion facility 
based on Verilog syntax.  If someone writes a plugin for geda

one for Altium format, we have that translator.
