L-Systems have the same disadvantages as tree macros (IIRC most tree macros are
essentially specialized l-systems with some improvements).  

BTW, a l-system modelling program would be quite difficult, because l-systems
are coded in fact and therefore can't be modelled, you could only try to
generate the l-system definition from some modelled shape, but that would not be
of much use IMO.

Attached are two coniferous trees i made with l-systems some years ago.
