You might be interested in jEdit...it is a *much* better editor than the 
one built into the Windows version, and comes with a POV-Ray edit mode. 
It's also highly customizeable, you could probably set things up to run 
POV from within jEdit, though I just keep a terminal window open for 
that. (Actually, it's a bit more complex: I boot my PC in Linux, mount 
its hard disk on my Mac with Samba, edit files on my Mac with jEdit, and 
render on my PC through SSH. It works nicely, including the POV-Ray X11 
preview.)
