I think there's lot of misleading information there.

  "POV-Ray 3.1 is an interface-driven program, but to a certain extent"

  Certainly not. The core povray engine has no user interface at all
(and much less "graphical"). It only reads a file (created by something
completely external to povray) and writes to an image file. That's it.
  Yes, the windows version of povray has some add-ons that may be considered as
interface, but they are not specifically part of POV-Ray 3.1.

  "The rest of the interface is a text-editor whereby you modify the parameters
and tweak the settings on the many, many objects in your scene. This, to a lot
of renderers - especially, the old schoolers - is how it should be done."

  I have never heard any "old schooler" saying this. Most of them just laugh
to povray for the lack of a modeller and they don't like its output quality
either.
  Ok, some povray-users could be regarded as "old schoolers"... :)

  And so on.
