And then there are others (very comfortable with programming and scripting
in general) who never "gravitate away" from modelers, simply prefering their
ease of use and instant visual feedback over a script-language, and instead
using their programming skills for writing tools and plug-ins for stuff not
possible in their modeler of choice. You know, about a year ago I planned an
image that would involve many trees, which I had no idea how to build in
Moray, so I set out to write a tool to help me with that - alas, the tool is
there, but the image is still only a figment of my imagination... ;-)
