> Why do the developers of POV-Ray do it?

I'm not sure if I count as a developer.  The motivation for me is a desire for
a particular feature.  If someone else was willing to do it, I'd be happy to
let them, but there is only so much each person can do.  Collectively it winds
up as something pretty amazing though.

That would be nice.

I trace more than I program, or at least I used to.  When you're programming,
you tend to make a lot of demo scenes and not too much complex artsy shyt.
It's really hard to do both.  Maybe when scientists find a cure for sleep...
