From your other posts it seems like completely frustrated about Emacs
and I fully agree that Emacs sucks with respect to configuration. I'm
using Emacs for more than five years now and still I'm having big problems
to find out how I can change something or how I can do something for the
first time.

However, I also agree with Steve that I will probably use Emacs forever
-- also for writing povray scenes. This is not the case because Emacs is
the best editor to write povray code, but because Emacs is the editor I
use to write programs in C,C++, and Java, LaTeX and Lilypond files, 
E-Mails and newsgroup articles. It's the editor I know. (Besides that
it's also a kind of operating system because it runs a things like
newsreader and tetris.)

The existence of people like me does not mean that Pyvon is useless.
I appreciate your efforts because I know that there are a lot of others
who are not familiar with Emacs. If such a person wants to use Povray,
it would be a pity if he or she would be scared away by Emacs. A nice
graphical interface - or more precisely a good editor that is tailored 
to Povray - has been a great lack in the past on unix-like systems.

As I wouldn't recommend my Mom to use LaTeX to write a letter, I would
recommend a newbie to Linux and Povray to use Emacs for their first
scenes. Nevertheless I'm using LaTeX and Emacs, but finally the fact
that you have the choice is great IMO.
