On its own it may be quite nice, but as it doesn't support extensions that's like saying your Morris Minor is better than my Ferrari which hasn't had its engine fitted. The only advantage chrome has from my experience is that it can use multiple cores, but when it has no extensions with which to use them it's pointless.
And yes that image thing is quite nice, but being random it does take ages to produce something that could be done by hand a lot faster, I even tried doing a simple sphere and it took ages to make something that didn't look that much like it.
