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...
