I contend it isn't necessary to choose one or the other. You get
the best of both worlds by using both together. I regard the text 
editor as a form of specialty editor, as Leveller is to
heightfields, or Poser is to human and animal forms, or Rhino
and/or sPatch is to freeforms, so the text editor is to anything 
that either can't be done in modeller, or at least can't be done 
as easily. The hand code I then filter back into the modelled 
scene as either an INC file or an UDO (in the case of Moray). 
Having a general knowledge of a good variety of modellers *and* 
text editing of scenes simply gives you a fuller toolbox 
to work from, IMHO.
