I do think that if they actually end up expanding the close-combat 'to hit' table for 6th Edition (allowing for 6+'s/2+'s needed to hit between opponents with a particularly wide WS gap), then Lelith may see a lot more use.

Folks who point out the reasons why they don't like Lilith clearly show they are not skilled players. Why is she in combat with a monstrous creature? With 9 bloodbrides you still get 3 special weapons plus the siren with an agoniser. That is brutal if used appropriately. They should be going after other infantry units, preferably those with independant characters or a ton of power weapons (a la GK and Wolf Guard). one or two more Shardnets and impalers plus the Flail and you've got a lovely tarpit. Meanwhile the rest of your army achieves thier objectives to which they are suited, like taking out those things that you feel requires an agoniser.
Lilith is an advanced piece. Using her correctly is something I've not seen many players do. I don't play DE, but I used to think she was crap until I saw her appropriateky utilized by another player.
dark eldar as a whole are a finesse ... mostly based army and the most important part for her as with most eldar units is movement ... if she has no choice but to assault say a monstrous creature then you HAVE DONE SOMETHING HORRIBLY WRONG then you will likely lose and deserve it.
as people say its pretty obvious she is better against t3 but weight of attacks does do a good if not great job of balancing it out for t4
As a DE/Chaos player, I've found Lilith to be hit or miss. I don't run her, but a friend does. She is dangerous, and the exclamation mark really on an already dangerous squad. What I have seen, though, is that Lilith+Incubi can take down most infantry squads on the charge.
I've thought about her. I don't judge her as bad or anything, I would just be afraid to use (and lose) such a valuable unit, and don't even want to think of even more expensive escorts... I guess even with elite armies I prefer relative cheapness and redundance, because I'm just that boring XD

Like most of the Dark Eldar army you cant look at her as a solitary component. The whole army requires the individual components to work as a whole to work. I run her often with the Duke and she does a fair amount of damage when directed into the right place.
Plus she has great fluff, art and model.
