I agree wholeheartedly.  Take for instance my recent light bulb
making.  I tried to use the fine lathe/sor editing program Spiliner
yet ended up continuing to fix it up in POV-Ray after getting the
model made.  I've tried many modelers over the past several years and
I always end up with a draft getting done.  However there will always
be times when a modeling program can be very important since not
everything is easily handmade, some things not at all possible.  I can
at least say that I have one solitary sPatch modelled object (no Moray
or anything else) which helped me complete a much larger model, my
Seattle Space Needle.  The part is a curved and twisted section of the
tripod (hexpod, I like to call it) but the rest is straight sections.
Of course most everything else I've done doesn't seem to require
things I can't do in the POV-Ray editor anyway and that is probably
more a vice not a virtue, if you get what I mean.
