Moray is the only modeller to have attracted loyal proponents and over a 
long period.

It is entirely personal and relative to the subject being modeled.  The 
placement problem for irregular shapes is certainly one solved more 
easily with GUI modelers.  Scripters on the other hand like the ability 
to specify the exact dimensions of shapes and devise geometric means to 
predict their contact points if at all possible.  The beauty of 
scripting is that it is theoritically possible to conpletely plan and 
encode a scene and have it render perfectly the first time! 
...theoretically.
