There are quite a lot of (non free) graphical editors for Povray, but in
general such a program is quite problematic if not impossible to be
universal.  Moray for example has quite a lot of functions, but still much
less then there are possible in Povray code.  There was quite a lot of
discussion on that in the past in some of there newsgroups.  What would be
very nice is a graphical editor that allows seamless combination with hand
coding, but that would need a quite complete Povray language parser and
you are not allowed to reuse the Povray source code for that.  

Anyway making your editor open source is not a bad idea after all.
