I've used GFA Basic and STOS.
In short I'd say:
STOS:
+Games oriented, has lots of built-ins..
+Easier than GFA, more like original BASIC
-No GEM support
-Restrictions from BASIC, like line numbers,
can't use keywords in variable names, etc..
GFA:
+Quite an OK language (as far as BASIC-languages go, anyway)
+GEM support
-More 'primitive', less built-in stuff.
I'd use STOS for games, graphical stuff,
and programs that don't need GEM.
I'd use GFA for the more serious application-type programs, where you don't need the bells and whistles STOS has.
