I don't mind using emacs, vim, or any other text editor to make my pov
files but I still find one advantage in using (WINE) pov-win:  The
shortcut lists!  It is sooooo nice to be able to add (insert
object/texture/camera/etc. here) with only a couple of mouse clicks and
in most cases the inserted code includes commented-out options that I
otherwise might have completely forgotten about.

This is what I would most want in an "official gui" for pov-*nix.  A
mouse clickable interface with the full contents of the drop down lists
from the pov-win binaries.  And hey, the little preview images in 3.5 are
sweet too, although not nearly as essential.

IS there a way to create something like this for emacs/vim/other?
