personnally think the pov script itself is the biggest turn off for pov
newbies, it also has to be noted that pov script while being very suitable
for some projects it totally unsuited to others.

Moray offers the closest graphical representation of pov script, but there
are times when you need to turn to other tools, such as sPatch or rhino -
both of which export directly to pov and moray
