I agree. I am comfortable with POV's scripting language, yet I still use
Moray all of the time.  When I have very simple scenes to set up, I sometimes
just type it up quickly in the text editor.

I do feel that having a good knowledge of the scripting language is a great
help even if you use a modeller.  Also, as some pointed out, there are some
features that are not supported by any modeller, so I find myself tweaking
almost all of my scenes in some way.
