 * No badges: badges haven't been supported in a while. There's a replacement that is apparently applied retroactively.
 * No blogs: at the moment.
 * No comments (but you DO have talk pages): at the moment. Blog and page comments are in the works and will probably be based on Feeds technology.
 * the UCP message walls are non-wikitext and Discussions-like (this forced me to switch to TALK PAGES on my wikia): correct. Walls were custom code and like everything in Thread namespace, it was a garbled creature of deprecated code held together by duct tape and magic. It was not future proof. It sucks. But you've got to look forward.
 * not even admins and bureaucrats can use JS or CSS: JS review isn't up yet, so JS is disabled. CSS became available as of the last update.
 * no chat (therefore no chat mods): I'm trying to find anything solid on the fate of chat, but I can't find anything. But my guess it wouldn't return - it's a very barebones structure of old code, that can never offer the same features third party chats can.
 * no rollbacks: at the moment.
 * no "popular pages" thingy on the top navigation so if you want to add anything to the top navigation besides "explore" & "discuss" then even THAT is your job: at the moment.
 * no classic editor: also deprecated.

As I said above, at the moment it's not worth switching.
