If it's better and easier to use, I keep using it; if it's not, I don't. 
Personally, I like the template-scripting style of POV, much for the 
same reason I really like PHP for making web pages.

If I were to make one change to the language, it might be to make a form 
of macro that looks more like built-in functions. So instead of making a 
function like:

#macro FaceofGod(Religion,Sect,Vowels)

#end

and calling it like:

object { FaceofGod("Christianity","Mormon","auau")}

you could call it like:

FaceofGod {
   religion "Christianity"
   sect "Mormon"
   vowels "auau"
   pigment {
      color Green
   }
}

But this might be solved by object-oriented objects as well.
