Yes, I'm a lurker... I'll give you my $0.02 for whatever it's worth.

Personally, I came to POV *because* it's a "programmer's toy."  I like being
able to position stuff exactly and use the looping stuff to save myself
loads of time.  I've also beat myself against a couple trial versions of
modellers long enough to realize that they were too clumsy for me.  YMMV.
