  I disagree in two counts:

  1) "Can be accomplished" is not always true. You can't add new rendering
features to POV-Ray with outside tools. It's just impossible.

  2) Even when using a supported rendering technique, "more easily" is
often just not true. Using things like third-party converters, automatic
mesh manipulation programs and such is usually much more cumbersome than
if you could do the exact same thing in POV-Ray itself by simply writing
one #include line and one function call.
  Possible? Yes. More easily? Often not. Not even equally esily.
