Smaller file sixes perhaps, greater control later, not. NURBS are great to
to use in a GUI environment. Trying to manipulate them without a GUI interface
would be madness. How many people do you personaly know (shut up, Ron) that can
hand code a single bezier patch ? Even if the syntax were simplified to the
maximum extent their complexity of use would still far surpass the difficulty
of use of a simple bezier patch.
