[DF] Beyond the Dungeon

I've seen a lot of discussion about how Dungeon Fantasy could be used to support more diverse adventures than straight-up dungeon crawling, if only it had some more stuff in it. So, that gets me wondering about how Dungeon Fantasy compares to other fantasy RPGs.

In particular, I'd like to hear people's views on:

1. What types of adventures would people want to run that Dungeon Fantasy either does not support or supports weakly?

2. What do other fantasy RPGs include in their core books that allows them to support those types of adventures? How do they compare to what Dungeon Fantasy has?

I ask for the focus on the core books because RPGs like Pathfinder and Dungeons & Dragons provide extensive setting support in their supplements, but their core books are much sparser. Also, people still spend a great deal of time creating their own settings for such systems, so having an 'official' setting is not necessarily required.
