Yes, SDL is limited as there are many things (mostly women and cars) 
which are really difficult to describe in it and you cant get imidiate 
visual feedback but modelers are as limited as there are also many 
things (the grass and the trees) which are best described algorithmically.

I think the best you can do is to combine the two approaches, you 
wouldn't want to model a forest but deciding what it will look like by 
painting some maps to controll some paramenters adding some noise and 
then have a cool forest which although its random is inside the 
parameters you wanted it to be is really powerfull.
