PLugins, plugins, plugins, plugins... Everyone requests plugins. Everyone
makes plugins. Hundreds of plugins, thousands, millions... And moray grows
and grows and grows...

  Instead of making a plugin for each simple task (like the random placement
of objects), wouldn't it be a better idea to allow the user to write little
povray scripts to do the task instead?
  For example for the random placement of an object you would only open
an editor window for the specified object or whatever and just type the
povray code for its placement.
  If you type something that creates objects you could somehow tell to moray
how to create a wireframe for that object (in povray's comments or in a
completely separated window with its own scripting language or something).

  So instead of making hundreds and thousands of little programs for each
task (and still being unable to perform every task), you could just have a
few powerful tools to perform any task (ie. a unix-like system).
