I agree.

It's a bit frustrating that this otherwise excellent piece of software has a
feature which depends on a particular file format, which is only used in said
software, but cannot be created in said software.

Translation: Density File feature depends on the DF3 format, which is only used
by POVRAY, but which cannot be created by POVRAY. Which forces the use of
another program.

I think POVRAY purists (people who only use the POV program and not any
modellers or esternal editors), such as myself, would have the greatest problem
with this. However, I don't know of any "purists".
