Here (France), I couldn't get MIT source due to export restriction. So
Heimdal was the alternative.

Better afs integration (f.e. kinit gives you the token automaticly: one
command)

I had at the time issues for authentication from windows machines  that
were solved more natively with Heimdal (I no longer remember the details
though)

Bad point: Policies (pasword lifetime, password rules etc.) are
incompletely or weirdly implemented but nothing that can be cured by
some C coding.
