I had a great time at IDFA. Their reputation is well deserved. As a filmmaker you felt welcomed and your request and wishes were taken seriously. The festival is an excellent place for developing your view on documentaries and seed future collabs. And there is an audience that is curious. I find this hugely important. The only criticism is I could bring forward, is that the festival is slightly to big. I was in constant fear of missing out :)
