Please don't take comments like these so personally, I think POV-Ray is
a damn fine piece of software.
I tend to think of POV-Ray as being a nuts-and-bolts sort of thing, the
interface is basically a text file and the user tells the program
exactly what to do down to the last decimal place.  This is what really
appeals to me.  I appreciate that someone put in hours of unpaid time to
create the windows interface, but some things are as good as they need
to be, as was the 3.0 windows front end.
BTW. I've downloaded beta5 now and turned the animation off, so that's
no longer an issue.

Cheers, PoD.
