I wonder what it is that has kept potential developers away from helping 
with POV?

There seem to have been whole renderers written in the time it takes from 
POV to go from 3.6 to 3.7 beta.  Why is this?

I love the SDL in POV, and for me it makes certain tasks quicker than using 
a modeller or CAD package.  But TBH I haven't really looked at anything else 
in detail for comparison.
