I use the GIMP from time to time. It's just very fiddly to make it do
anything nontrivial. I also occasionally use Inkscape; again, it's just
frustrating to use.
I note in passing that I could have produced my mockup with Inkscape,
but I chose to manually write a computer program that makes calls to the
Cairo library because it was *easier* than trying to figure out how to
make Inkscape do what I want. (!)

"Modelling" things in SDL merely requires typing. Most people can manage
that. Modelling stuff in Blender requires navigating a complex GUI,
which is another matter entirely.
I might also mention that POV-Ray's documentation is excellent...
