PovClipse *does* look nice. My only concern is how friendly it is going
to be for new users.

Speaking as someone who has never written Eclipse plugins, how hard
would it to be to detangle it from Eclipse and have it run stand-alone?
Having the entire Eclipse SDK is kind of overkill. :-) Other than SWT
proper, I don't know how many of Eclipse's libraries can run
independently of the IDE.

Also, how hard would it be to make it not require the user to set up and
organize projects? The project concept is useful when you're developing
large pieces of software, and could be nice for managing scenes that
have lots and lots of include files. For most users just getting
started, though, I see it becoming just one more stumbling block. :-( It
would be nice to be able to just open up a .pov file and press "render".

You know you've been raytracing too long when you have ever said "I
don't need no steenking modellers!!!"
