x/emacs with pov-mode is very nice (I have to say that as maintainer;),
but 
really, you get the pretty much the same stuff as with the
windows-version 
(and the macversion as seen in those screenshots). I'm working on
enhancing
the povmode quite a bit, and will try to get everything working by the
end
of summer (winter for you who walk upside down). The most noticable new
feature
will be a major change to the syntax highlighting, pov-mode will get
it's own
font-lock-faces. I will also try to add buttons to the buttonbar in
xemacs, but
thats not a priority.

/Peter, pov-mode maintainer and hungry.
