Ok, so maybe you can't make the next Doom3 in blitz, but, what you can make is cool games fast. Like Syb says the people that complain the most are those who don't see the latest fancy features and assume that Blitz3D is crap because it's DX7.
Before the mention of Max3d Blitz3D was the king even over it's rivals like DBPro which is DX9. Take DBPro for instance. How many games have you seen released with DBPro that use features of DX9? Personally I've seen none. DBPro is buggy and horrible to program with. Blitz3D on the other hand is a joy to code with and you can get results fast.
I think IPetes idea of an all bells and whistles demo is good but I've seen demos like this made in Blitz before. Search the showcase and you'll find some really cool stuff or look at the Galary.
There are still diehard Blitz2D users to this day just as there'll be diehard Blitz3D users tomorrow.
my2p anyway. :)
