: I think it was the "Instead of..." part that worried him.

  That "instead of making a plugin for each simple task" was not meant as
"remove the plugin feature and replace it with a scripting feature". It was
meant as "if you had a scripting language, you wouldn't be needing to ask
or make a plugin for each simple task but you could just write a little
script to do it instead, thus making moray a lot more powerful tool".
  You could still make plugins if you wanted (and sometimes you have to,
because you can't do _every_ task with the scripting language (for example
some animation plugin or whatever)), but with a scripting language you could
achieve simple tasks easyly, use (povray) features not implemented in moray
(like adding a julia fractal or whatever), etc.
