The S-fly is basically a design that has been around since 1999. The only changes have been origins of manufacture and improvements in quality. I can't speak for the principle but If I had to guess I would say that Loic has in mind an inexpensive suit that is both easy to learn on and fly with good results.

Its the suit you see the soul flyers doing all of their cool stuff in on their self titled DVD.

It probably compares to the Classic series from bird-man in price and ease of use. Although now BM has wingsuits offering more wing area for the more experience pilots. These suits may be more demanding to fly for some and are more costly to purchase.

There is a Matter wingsuit no longer in production that is very similar to the S-fly but all of their newer offerings ( matter 2 and M2 versions 2005 )are based on a design with more wing area. These offerings are also easy to fly but are not in the same entry level price range.

Then you have the new kid on the block. So new only a few test pilots have had a small taste. The Vampire -1. It is not described as entry level material in performance or price but you can bet it is a contributing factor in a lot of primary suits being placed on the market for resale by experienced pilots with multiple suits who need funds to experience the new.

keep in mind, just like what you hear on the canopy forum, it is also pilot skill that determines performance not just the wing suit design.
