Or a screwdriver being used as a hammer? It might eventually get the job 
done, but isn't as easy to use, isn't designed to be used that way, and 
will probably ruin the screwdriver.
The reason it got a consistently negative response is that it would 
require a graphical editor to comprehend the simplest scene written in 
that language. It just isn't the right tool for the job, there would be 
no reason to use it, and several reasons not to use it(it would be even 
harder to program complex stuff in than it would be in POV-Script, and 
harder for non-programmers to write scenes in, file sizes would be much 
bigger...).
