Socatas tend to be liked by pilots who go places, with "non-anorak" passengers. It's a very civilised plane.
They tend to be liked less by pilots who have bought into the spamcan scene - either by chance or by choice (e.g. instructors) - and who have accepted the various mad compromises e.g. a single door.
The TB9 has little power but then so does the PA28-140 which has sold in vast numbers but gets off the ground only because of the earth's curvature.
The TB10 is a bit better than the TB9. I have been in a TB10 at max weight and we got airborne off a dry grass runway over a measured 340m, which I cannot see anything wrong with, given the classy cockpit etc.
But the TB9 or 10 are not even a patch on a TB20 which is a very capable machine.
I've got ~ 120hrs in Cesspits and PA28s and don't recall any of them having better visibility than my TB20.
