For things involving height fields or objects that can be represented
similarly, Bryce is quite useful; it's far easier to tweak and test
them then it is in POV, IMO. But I find it very difficult to work with
for anything else; it makes far more sense to me to lay stuff out with
coordinates than by moving stuff around on the screen (and for the
same reason I don't use programs like Moray). I also don't like the
texturing model as much as I do POVRay's.

I feel like I've got greater control in general in POVRay, overall. I
have seen some spectacular images done in Bryce, though. I suspect
that to some extent the answer is that it depends both on the artist
and the type of images one wishes to create. But I'm odd; I don't
believe in One True Program under any circumstances. :)
