The ability to "code a picture" is what really appealed/appeals to me, but
yeah, I would agree that to non-coders, that's a draw-back.  I've talked to
a couple people about POV-Ray who seemed really interested in learning to
use it, but the coding aspect generally scares people away.  For me, it's
POV-Ray's biggest selling-point.  My mouse-skills suck, even with 100 levels
of undo.  ;-)
