That is how I feel...it's like trying to manipulate the scene through 
holes in the sides of the room with grippers at the end of a broomstick. 
I think I would be much more at home in a modeller if it used some kind 
of VR gloves and display...and had access to the exact coordinates of 
objects.

Have you tried Blob Sculptor? Jam? Meshwork? PatchDance? Mondfarilo? 
There are many others...most are shareware or freeware.
