I see what you mean.  Still, MEL is very powerful allowing one to 
program the GUI itself, no?  And meanwhile there is still the node-based 
development model supported in Maya and others that the POV development 
environment doesn't come close to.  But my main objection to Mike's post 
was to the idea that cost prejudices behavior in a major way.

But on that point, apon further thought, I will concede a bit.  I think 
it is true that a producer managing a project, takes a big risk trying 
something new, and perhaps even a bigger risk if that something is free 
.  It's contradictory, but in the corporate corridors, if you try 
something new and fail, your backside is somehow safer if you payed and 
lost big money, taking what was apparently the "quality" route.
