Significant effort has been expended in the new 3.7 codebase to provide a
OO-based interface to the renderer so as to make the introduction of a new
front-end (GUI or otherwise) a lot less difficult.

Put another way, it allows the developer to concentrate more on the
development of the UI itself without having to worry so much about the guts
of how POV works.
