As i have pointed out it's not the exisitence of such features per se,
it's how well they work. Syntax sensitive auto-completition meaning it
only tries to complete keywords which are allowed at the current position
(when you are in a 'union' and type diff<tab> you immediately get
'difference' because 'diffuse' is not allowed there)
auto-indention is much more powerful in emacs than in WinPOV (and i assume
it is not much better in Pyvon than in WinPOV) - you can automatically
indent whole blocks and closing braces and '#end' are positioned correctly
while typing as well.

'ispell' is of course rarely useful in POV-SDL but i use it frequently
when editing HTML and TEX. 'diff' and regular expressions search are
always handy when editing code.

File skeletons that are inserted when creating new files. I use for
example:
// Persistence Of Vision Ray Tracer Scene Description File
// -------------------------------------------------------
// File: @(#)TEMPLATE.pov.tpl
// Desciption: (>>>COMMENT<<<)
// Creation Date: $ (>>>DATE<<<), (>>>TIME<<<) $
// Last modified: $ (>>>DATE<<<), (>>>TIME<<<) $
// Author: (>>>AUTHOR<<<)
//
where all the capitalized stuff gets replaced when creating the file and
the 'Last modified' line gets updated every time you save it.
