I agree -- the new editor is an excellent upgrade!

However, there are still features in emacs in POV mode
that make that, to me, preferable.   Pardon me if I
am missing features in the current POV-W9x editor.
The features are:

1. Indent-line indent-region and indent-buffer :
   automatically set indentation of a line, region, 
   or the entire buffer
2. Parenthesis matching : when a closing parenthesis is typed,
   the curser briefly highlights the matching opening parenthesis.
   If a closing parenthesis is typed after an opening bracket,
   for example, a warning is issue.   AFAICT, the POV-W9x editor
   only does parenthesis matching on highlighted parentheses,
   which interrupts typing.

   However, the color code and auto-indentation of the POV
   W9x editor does provide a nice visual clue if parenthesis
   matching is off, so I am being picky here.

Still, I can hardly complain -- the new editor is a real programming
editor and a huge improvement over the previous edition, which
itself was quite usable.

I add my thanks to those of others posted here.
